Subject: RE: Is this how Londoners care for each other?
Funny you say that, Adrien. I thought of the same song. Aside from the tongue in cheek part of it, I can't help but feel sad for the person that lived there, who was apparently mentally challenged. In cities, great and small, around the world, we increasingly see folks that don't even know, let alone care enough about their neighbors, to simply check in on them. While I certainly embrace the new millenium, I must admit to being a bit nostalgic for the time when we understood our neighbors and would come to know them, argue with them, watch out for one another's kids......... all too often in these days, we live right beside folks and don't even know their names.
