I'm willing to concede not reading to kids is a problem, but this is more a consequence of our increasingly every-man-for-himself socializing than anything else. The reason I get so agitated by "think" pieces like Caleb's and the movie X-markers' is that they fall into a pattern: show-offy whining, accompanied by no suggestions, and underlined with the unspoken belief that, for all its faults, our culture is BETTER THAN EVER!!!!! They've also become an analog of political reporting, and for that reason alone they STINK.
