Cathy,

You are right. Why wouldn't we do this? We don't realize that the simple things like the annoying neighbor who won't mow his lawn... Maybe it is ACEs??? Childhood Adversity creates a lot of fear (maybe of machines- Stephen King comes to mind -- and so does my dad who made me help him "fix" all kinds of machines, including trucks, combines, rototillers and plugged septic tanks) -- or going outside or just being seen by people in general) or worse the shooting at the local gas station where we just filled up...

Many people think something like: Not my problem, let someone else deal with this, but the truth be told...This is all our problem and we all can take a part as pieces of the solution... We can have a great Michigan! We can have a state (it is a beautiful state with it's wondrous lakes) where people feel safe and happy to be and to raise their families.
