Now I want to know what are you doing to help your community?
OK Varus, I'll see you and raise.
I gave up a slot in a nice career, went out, taught something and stayed because I thought teaching had more social value than doing DUI cases at an easy thousand a shot. I don't follow the narrow guidelines of your vision, so according to your posting style, I'm a liberal -- the liberals on the forum might hold otherwise. I regularly give away services on a pro bono basis that would be worth anywhere from 20% to 100% of my gross salary. When I taught next to the nursing school, I stripped my voice facing classes of 1,500 students and it was for free. I've taken on the responsibility of several quasi adoptive daughters, seen them through their studies and helped them start their careers. I'm working in a big, international city right now because that's where my daughters work and want me to be. I've worked in rural areas and may well be on my way to Inner Mongolia because the missionaries that come here to pr ... erm, teach don't like to get too far from the expat markets while they rake in the donations from their churches for the vast 'hardships' they face living in gated, luxury compounds.
You would sit in judgment of my public service? Get yourself on a plane, donate a year doing something outside your neighborhood, outside the US (and outside the expat safe havens) to help the human condition and get back to me if you make it. Do it another 16 times and you're still playing catch up.

'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'
Even the Devil may quote Scripture:
Quote:
‘“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.†This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.†On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.’
The "liberals" you troll, do you treat them with the respect you ask for yourself or is it just a way to pat your ego? Allow me to help you, that book you're quoting is rather longer than what you seem to have read:
Quote:
For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
