Woo! I've never seen this column before
A column. About: Gee, it sucks that people talk loudly on cell phones. Yeah, nice one, Tejas. Very original. Never seen a column that covers that topic before.
So what’s the solution?... One thing, though, is certain: this problem will have to be solved by citizens, not by governments. We can’t rely on the laws to tell us how to use our cell phones on BART, but we can expect people to impose social norms making it inappropriate to yap obnoxiously.
Sounds good. Scroll up a paragraph.
To one who believes strongly in the merits of social capital, the collective disgust of a group of individuals ought to be enough to motivate change. It hasn’t been.
To summarize. "The following solution hasn't worked. The solution? Exactly the same solution that hasn't worked."
