What are you into? kids? crime? education? cancer? Find people who care about the issues you do and DO something please? Not only is it a more productive way to use your energies but you can be a part of the solution to issues which affect you and your family. By being intimately involved, you will be surprised to see how hard getting things done is and maybe, just maybe, you can come to an understanding of what your community leaders have to put up with. With understanding comes patience and tolerance and eventually, progress.
