I am proud to wear the title of "neighborhood
activist".  I wasn't hired, I was self-appointed to
the job. I can promote myself anytime I want. I can
change my job description and absorb any new function
I feel like taking on.  I can also refuse to do
anything I don't want to do in this capacity. This is
a rewarding job and even though there's no paycheck
for it, I don't have to pay taxes to be one. I get to
meet a lot of great people in this job. I have
gathered stories you can tell your grandkids. I even
ended up with a kid from doing this work.

No one can silence me, and I can't be fired. I can
also retire any time I want to. I suggest everyone try
it at least once in their lifetime. The world will be
a better place for it.
