I really like your post. You've inspired me to think about citizenship. I've discovered that being a good citizen means getting to know my neighbors and local business people by name and saying hello to the kids who look like trouble on the corner. It's fun to see how government works and to get to know representatives. Community is a network. Making a difference happens through relationships. Through listening to, learning about, and appreciating what people are doing. A community or a city works when people care, literally care for their neighbors, customers, buildings, trees, streets, everything. When not enough people care, when people expect it all to be done by government or by someone else, all falls into entropy.

Definitely agree! The same fundamental processes that produce a strong social fabric and healthy communities also produce good government. So if you don't have one, you probably won't have the other.
