NPR.org, November 6, 2008 · If you're not in the mood for earnest, this column is going to bug you: Fair warning.

Why not ask — or at least ponder — what we can do to help? Let's get out of citizen-as-victim mode and think of giving as well as taking. I am not talking about joining the Peace Corps or the Marines, or volunteering to pay higher taxes.
I am talking about striving in our own professions and civic lives for what we ask — what we demand and expect — our elected leaders to deliver: more integrity, less phoniness and more consideration of the community.
