"Reflections of a Nonpolitical Man" by Sven Birkerts

     I could easily relate to the topic of this piece, because I too am not a very political person. And just as Birkerts points out, when other people bring up the topic to you, it is unavoidable to start feeling guilty. But not everyone was born to hold rallies and make bills. And just as Birkert also stated, political passivity is not the same as political apathy. It is possible to be aware of what is going on, and fully comprehending it, but not wanting to make yourself a part of the change. It's not for everyone. I really liked this piece and the way the author went about writing it.
