Better Things, Or, Doing Versus Talking
"Don't focus on the big picture. You can't fix it. But you can fix your own situation locally. You can meet the good folks next door. You can meet the good folks raising their own food and selling it at the farmer's market. You can meet the good folks owning the micro brewery and hosting the beer festivals. You can meet the guys testing the handloads at the range and swapping numbers. You can lane coach the couple struggling to zero that new AR while you're at that range. You can talk to like-minded people on the radiowaves, like I do with my friends. You can go to church, even if it's not 'your' denomination, just to meet people who live and do in your community. It doesn't do anyone any good to simply read what they want to hear, channeling some useless venom that doesn't do anything other than cause more of a problem- thus I stay above it, as do the wise. More often than not the stuff is written by people who can't do, hence why they complain."
