You mean, Little House on the Prairie, the Motion Picture?
(see, cause I have this theory that the "Mary" in the song is Laura
Ingalls's older sister, who, in the book series, got smallpox and went
blind-- a lot of the song's descriptions remind me of that Mary. )

"The market is the reason our housing is so expensive. It is the reason
our public transportation is lousy. It is the reason our cities sprawl
idiotically all across the map. It is the reason our word processing
programs stink and our prescription drugs cost more than anywhere else.
In order that a fortunate few might enjoy a kind of prosperity unequaled
in human history, the rest of us have had to abandon ourselves to a
lifetime of casual employment, to unquestioning obedience within an
ever-more arbitrary and despotic corporate regime, to medical care
available on a maybe/maybe-not basis, to a housing market interested in
catering only to the fortunate. "
