Why Kickstart It?, Part II

Because your name could be added to the top of that list.  Because it's fun.  Because you're part of something now, baby.  Because communities flare up in odd places in odd ways and who knows how they will sustain you, but they will.  Because when we reach out to something unusual, we become a little bit more human.  You're part of something now.
