35. Many good answers to your post
I think the best address the sense of community. If we can get back to the point that we know our neighbors and understand that we're all in this mess together, we might have a chance to survive. I would never let a neighbor go without if I could do something to stop it. I expect most here would feel the same.

The other side of the problem should deal with providing a livable income for an honest days work. For me, the best bet is to sustain local economies. If I go to the local market or hardware store I know that most of the money I spend is feeding my neighbors. If I go to a big box chain store, most of that dollar I spend will get sent off to corporate headquarters and do nothing for the people I have to see every day.
