I wish all Americans, regardless of age, would have to take a course in civics in which we could all re-learn a phrase which has disappeared from our discourse: the common good. No matter how much history my ETHS students forgot, I hope many of them remember the many mini-sermons they endured on this subject. I think nothing is more important in a society than remembering the notion that we owe each other, that that is part of the social contract. And I like to think of Buckminster Fuller’s comment in this context, too: “There is no away.” I wish we all believed that and acted accordingly.

The advantage of your having a blog is that I get to sound off, too! Naomi
