H.I.F.

As more Americans grow tired of the warped culture and government programs that are tilted ruthlessly against the middle class, more Americans "opt out" and go into isolation. [This article](http://www.theamericanconservative.com/thoreau-vs-st-benedict-how-we-opt-out-matters/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com) examines the phenomenon, and also points out, "*How* we opt out makes a difference." Do you opt out virtuously, like St. Benedict? Or selfishly, like Thoreau?

If you choose to opt out, consider St. Benedict's path . . . the path of community. Just make it a small community: your family, your town. Heck, maybe just start by being nice to your spouse.
