Let’s not kid ourselves, we all have areas we live in and
suspect that something is going on. We just keep hoping that it’s not our
street. Long ago we lived in communities where we knew everyone and talked to
each other. Now we live in the suburbs and don’t even know the names of our
immediate neighbours. We don’t even pick up the garbage can, or say hello.
Maybe there’s a casual nod of acknowledgement or a smile, but I know what all
of you are thinking. “He’s running some type of drug lab, isn’t he?” Or “I
think he’s up to no good”. I applaud our police force for doing their best;
however the problem is really due to our isolation. It was self-fulfilling and
the bad guys know it. Put in a happy
family and we will never know. We will continue to nod and appear like we care,
but we don’t. We’ll continue to turn a blind eye to what happens around us.
Gated communities, here we come!
