How our governments need standards of integrity! How our communities need yardsticks to measure decency! How our neighborhoods need models of beauty and cleanliness! How our schools need continued encouragement and assistance to maintain high educational standards! Rather than spend time complaining about the direction in which these institutions are going, we need to exert our influence in shaping the right direction. A small effort by a few can result in so much good for all of mankind.

People need to get involved in their neighborhood groups and the many housing reform groups that are out there.

Our governments - local, state and federal - also need to allocate resources to enforce the fair housing laws that are already on the books.
