What Your Neighbors Need

If you live in a normal American neighborhood, you probably don’t know your neighbors very well.  They do their thing and you do yours.  ”Mind your own business” is the rule.  While that surely makes for what appears to be a peaceful neighborhood, it’s not what human community should be.  Men were called by Aristotle […]
