Holidays may offer some compensation, but everything has its season. Next of kin are those causing maximum annoyance. They are parsimonious neighbours, noisy kids, funny couples. First annoyances are quickly made emblems, forever there to fall back on. The others are scrutinized distrustingly, a form of surveillance which it is impossible to sanctionize since there no longer exists any common intercourse defining a norm.
Normality can no longer define any aberration.
Only drug related nuisance, streetwalkers' districts and cribs, travellers' sites and refugees' centers may now temporarily unite citizens in mobs, for fear of declining property values. This neighbourhood resistance is not ideologically motivated, one simply never gets down to the point of formulation of transferable ideas. There is more to separate us than mere garden fences. Therefore, too, accusals of racism or discrimination are off the mark here. There isn't any moral order to deteriorate into bigotry.
