1. Your post should be a sticky in every forum.
THIS is what it's about. THIS creates a society based upon support, reinforcement, encouragement, and intimacy. THIS eliminates isolation, alienation, greed, and fear. THIS is how we beat BushCo, by obsoleting them, by shifting the context of life in America away from them so that they cannot be part of it, unless they choose to.

Being of service to others, especially where they cannot help themselves, pays far greater returns than any other action.

3. It's a wonderful concept and one that most of us could adopt.
There have been people who have helped me at one time or another in my life who I will never be able to pay back. Therefore, when I can I try to help someone else and consider that I've paid something forward. It's a simple lesson of sharing.
