I'm a precinct chair and I don't think we've had 3 meetings in the last year. I was thinking about the commitment and it hit me how our current generation have children and then excuse themselves out of everything. That's shameful. I remember hearing Paul Harvey "So God made a Farmer" speech and the part about the school board meeting gets me. The farmer didn't say he was going to stay at home to eat dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets with his kids because that was more important than the vote on a book ban:

"God said, “I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper and then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board.” So God made a farmer."
