It's been a GREAT thread, so thanks heaps! For it has revealed to me a lot
of the psychology & self-justifying postures taken by the sorts of people
who start wars with or play cop against their neighbors striving to impose
their own questionable aesthetic & dubious moral notions on others. If
they were trying to stop all-night rock bands blasting the neighborhood,
ten pet pigs in a stench-pen, an open sesspool kids could drown in,
shotgun target practice in the alley, or a deadly toxic drug factory, it'd
be perfectly sensible to Unite Against Crime. But it turns out to be about
houses painted the wrong color, horrible basketball hoops, baseless rumors
& vendettas aimed at individuals one is already fighting with, unmowed
lawn, trivial zoning violations, or a vehicle parked in nobody's way on
one's own land. And THIS results in years of Neigbhor Wars? Just amazing.
Reinforces so much I already suspected!
