I can only hope Andrew Meyer's guest column was published with ironic intent. The guy who helped perpetuate the idea that political protesters are shrill, self-important fools wonders why more students aren't involved?
The guy who, through his selfish, attention-whoring antics, has probably made it more difficult for Accent to convince speakers to come to UF is now challenging Accent to bring better guests?
The guy who has now twice advanced the stereotype that all college students are apathetic Facebook junkies is wondering why that stereotype is alive and well?
Yes, we should be more politically active than we are. But hearing Meyer extol the virtues of civic responsibility is like hearing Pat Robertson preach about the Bible's message of tolerance and love.
Someone please disabuse Meyer of the notion that he's in any position to speak for his generation, let alone challenge it to do anything.
