I was hoping to read a more moderate approach, but I can only surmise that you must live in a fairly extreme leftist environment. I am a Midwestern liberal and although I love the people in my community... if politics comes up, I risk losing everything I hold dear. So, despite there being compassionate people around me... I still cannot completely trust them. I will probably eventually be moving back to a bigger Midwest city because I feel very alone.
