I'm a little confused by the perfect lawn brigade too - although there is something about some nice short grass to sit, play frisbee on etc - it always seems so much more beautiful if it is surrounded by gardens, trees, wildflowers or whatever. For those not willing to go entirely lawn-free, TreeHugger just did a post on reel mowers - quieter, cleaner, cheaper and you get exercise in the process. Come to think of it, given you wouldn't want to mow 16 acres with one of these, maybe they also provide incentive to keep our lawns to a manageable size. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/06/push-reel-mower-grass-lawn-mowing.php Scythes are also making a comeback in the UK: http://www.thescytheshop.co.uk/ Hahaa - priceless.
