Rant.

I want to live in a place where the community works together and everybody knows what their responsibilities are and they do it with a sense of community pride because they all know they equally belong here, pitching in, respecting their neighbor, or at least tolerating them if they don’t quite always understand them. And, like any healthy relationship, they don’t mind helping each other, pulling a little bit more than their weight because they know that some days we all need a little help and maybe one day somebody is going to help them, too. Sometimes a few people skate by, which is frustrating, but so many more good people benefitting outweighs this annoyance. It’s for all of us.

It’s our America, all of ours.
