Er, it seems to me that that was THE WHOLE POINT of the article -- that we are slaves to our jobs and have no freedom to appreciate great things that happen to pop up in our regular routine. It seems that much of the blogosphere is interpreting the article as elitist, but I see it as exactly the opposite. The reaction of the kids is what broke my heart -- I didn't see the video but I have an image of a kid being dragged through the station looking back yearning to hear and learn more. -- David W.
