HICKS: Giving up but holding on to hope in our changing culture

Consider this my letter of resignation from the culture commentary business. Starting today, I'm re-enlisting in the army of adults whose experience, insight, wisdom and wit are required if we are to improve as a nation of parents and grown-ups.
