Part of the reason I follow Derek is he promotes grass roots change with no apologies. The advent of the welfare state has destroyed American communities. Whereas people used to rely on their local community/ church (or other religious institution) when they hit hard times, they now rely on government theft of others. Relying on community created need and led to people being closer with their neighbors. Wouldn't it be nice if neighbors actually knew one another.
Never underestimate how much you can change the world by reaching out to people who live near you.
