White picket fence

[HughMoran]

What if every time we saw a post that symbolizes an overly simplistic/idealistic/purist/unyielding/utopian view, instead of posting what is bound to be a futile argument fraught with animosity & insults, we simply posted "white picket fence"?

Symbolism

A picket fence, ideally white, is seen by some as a symbol of the ideal middle-class suburban life, with a family, children, large house and peaceful living.
