I have recently gotten involved in local government and local community-supporting non-profits.  The US as a world power and example of virtuousness seems to be on its way to the dustbin, so I am focusing on protecting&#x2F;making healthy my community.<p>If our local community can become strong enough, we may have a chance to survive to see what the next attempt at national&#x2F;federal(&#x2F;world?) government might look like.<p>It&#x27;s one of the few ways I can think of to do something positive and legal.  And non-violent.
