Blog reader AFitz took me to task about my excessive lamenting of the good ol’ days where people cared about what’s going on outside their circle of friends and family. I lamented about the apathy I saw in the college classroom. I whined. I gnashed my teeth and lashed out at the uncaring egocentric youth. See this earlier post and comments to catch up.

AFitz, SeattleWhether AFitz knew it or not, he threw down the gauntlet.
I ask you smart, well-informed readers to pick up the gauntlet. Give me some ideas on how I can be a better role model.
