A kindness....

Does it not seem that the world should stop trying to invent the next big thing and maybe we should all focus on resolving existing problems like hunger, homelessness, un-adopted children, violence, etc. I think it's time we stop looking at charity as something we'll get to and make it something that is required of every citizen in the nation over a certain age. Give of your time in some manner so that another person's life is made the better because of it. The time spent doing this adds more value to your life than time out shopping and spending money on things that only add value to your ego. We need to reach a point where we decide to do away with things and focus on the people in our family, community, and lives so that the jobs we no longer have, are no longer necessary because we're all looking out for each other and barter our time for the goods necessary to sustain us. 

How many of you moved in order to be closer to your work? 

How many of you moved to be where you felt your family could grow up safe and secure? 

Wouldn't you like to be able to be home to be with your family? I'm sure many of you have skills to barter that your neighbors do not. Is it possible they have skills you yourself do not have, but require? Consider the benefits of living in a society where we are all one big community again that uses only what we need, and gives what we do not to others in exchange for their help. I believe it is time to return to a time when we were no longer Corporate America, and were once again Franchised America. We have civil discussions with the other franchises, but we would really prefer to focus on enjoying the experience of living in our respective environments, and sharing that with others in need.
