I've been thinking about this. Michael, you devoted a few hundred words to a critique of how many/most Americans think and act. Then you say we should write as one of them. But you don't make membership in the group seem very attractive. Though this may sound blunt, I ask this with a great deal of admiration for what you do: how are you one of them?
