All of these are good points, and good to do.

My fear is that most Americans do not talk to their neighbors , do not sit outside and mingle, do not go to church, mosque or temple, or to bars or places of sin, even. They sit at home, go to work. Back and forth, exhausted.

Two generations ago people had stronger community ties. Most people were still exhausted and exploited but complained face to face about it, to neighbors and people in the community they did not know. And that made all the difference to power social movements .

Something is broken here, in my community and I suspect other places, I don’t know how to fix it and have not seen any good fix proposed by others.

I think with time things will change for the better, but many things have to help

What exactly is a “place of sin”? What religion do you use to define what is a sin or not?

Wherever I can have fun, it’s a flexible definition
