I love this thought!

I have always been a believer in a safety net paid for with tax money and have wanted to contribute my share to the tax revenue for this purpose, but maybe voluntary is better. I don't know.

I have felt the way I have about using tax money because I worry about a safety net being left to chance. Of course our government is corrupt so our tax money at present is not being used wisely. But if we could clean up the corruption...

Love that word "community"!

Interesting!

I love focusing on technology. It's way cool.

I look forward to this day because right now I can't discuss anything with my four siblings...

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. It's one thing to be prepared myself and to look our for my children (even though they're adults). But I'm going to facing what comes along with neighbors in close proximity to me...
