Thanks. I believe we have to come together to form some sort of community or consensus to really have any forward progress in on a broad scale. Being alone all the time isn't good, so being an island isn't great. Having a family isn't being an island, that's a community too. Everyone should do what they can to build something bigger and better than the system that's currently decaying right now. Thanks for your kind words.

I was using the "every man is an island" metaphor to say that each of us is an individual and has the responsibility to take care of our self so we can be a part of something bigger. I did not mean to infer isolation is the way, although some of us are just built that way, and that's ok, too. I see you being of great influence, even if you don't feel like you are doing enough at times. There's the different perspective I was talking about.

Is anyone trying to do this besides me? I organized weekly online Old Testament readings for a small online religious community. I traveled around until I found a good place for a physical community which I hope to move to eventually. And for the longer term, I hope to organize an intentional ethnicity. Is anyone else doing any kind of community building?
