I've never written anything I love more than this advertisement. Young Isaac ran this full page in the local business press during the late 1990s.
While it ran only a few times, it's warmly remembered. Folks have requested reprints; some have told me that yellowed copies hang in their office cubicles.
That warms my heart. I like to think that the message is worthy, deserving enough to be re-read.

Mr. Isaac:
If you would please, send this to the Washington Post - and perhaps other metropolitan newspapers located in places like DC where manners often take a back seat. "Peer pressure" is often of the -wrong- type, no-eye-contact is the new fast-spreading virus, and the "poison pen" is often used in place of patience and understanding.
