Went to film school back in the mid 80's in Florida and worked in the industry for a couple of years until I decided to get into the real world and make money. Was brainwashed with both good and bad liberal ideas since birth through college until 9/11. At that point with a wife and 2 boys I decided that what I had been told was not necessarily true. I started listening to Bill O'Reilly (I know... milk toast) but we all have to start somewhere. And here I am now...libertarian/constitutionalist.
What are you doing in your neighborhood to come together? I live in a red state in a red county and it's "like pulling rotten teeth with long roots" to get locals to trust one another. It seems all the old timers have given up and the new arrivals came to get away from the city and everyone else. I have partnered with a local church and the most interest people are the wife's and ladies of the community. How about you???
I like your idea and I hope in your community it's easy like that. Unfortunately that's not the reality here... things are much more complicated. One man's opinion is another's criticism. Hopefully the women can bring us together. The men are too busy and proud to be told what needs to be done.
