  Public opinion on our side!

  Gallup Poll recently conducted a survey on this and found that most Americans continue to oppose drilling the refuge and anti-drillers feel more strongly about it than pro-drillers.

  Good diagnosis, Doc, what's the prescription?

  Mr. Ganz's work seems to be along the lines of Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone -- pointing out that Americans are becoming less engaged with their communities and less likely to participate in a broad variety of organizations and causes, including environmental ones.

  What I don't get from this article is what Mr. Ganz proposes as a solution.

  Does he have a prescription for how to revitalize 1950s/60s/70s levels of face to face participation in clubs and chapters?

  Or does he have a plan to capture the essential benefits of the community involvement of yesteryear in the new Internet communities that are springing up everywhere? Like Gristmill, Yahoo! Groups, Flickr, etc...

  What's the prescription, doc?
