There seems to be such a struggle in this country to 'take care of your neighbor'. My family farmed for quite a few years. In the early 80s my Dad had neck surgery and was not able to plant that spring. Neighbors from a few miles around came to our farm and planted all of our crops that spring just out of being neighborly. I know that kindness and carring for your neighbor still exists, but it seems like such a 'look what I did mentality' these days instead of 'that is what you are supposed to do, and I do it without reservations'.
It is really sad that politicians worry more about getting elected some days than caring for the people.
