Why Bother,
in a wonderfully engaging and erudite manner, addresses the great
question confronting democracy, community and justice -- and
that is civic motivation. Prepare to be motivated. Sam Smith
is an antidote to mindless speed reading. He makes you pause
between paragraphs in order to mull over the captivating morsels
he is placing in your imagination. - RALPH NADER
