Because I happen to think that "my community" consists of the people I care about, who care about me, the people who support each other. They may not be physically close, but they mean a lot more to me than the family who just bought the house across the street.
My community is you, and Mel, and all the cherished people who help me get through a day or a week or a month or a year while the pain gets worse and/or I'm stoned on vicodin at work so I can mildly function.
We care a GREAT DEAL about our communities. It's just that people don't realize who lives in them.
