Cool twist - but I have to pose a question back at you...
While the nuts and bolts of the vw are a subset of the rw, are not the
emotional/mental imaginings/reactions of the vw's inhabitants on par in
their severity as the imaginings/reactions of rw inhabitants to their own,
unique stimuli? And if so, is the vw a true subset of the rw, or a separate
reality formed by the same bricks and mortar - and therefore capable of
sustaining its own set of rights - which are purely political (therefore
mental) abstractions?
