Much appreciate your perspective as someone who has time to be a "good citizen" and finds it rewarding. You're right that not everyone finds the expectation the burden it might be for, say, young parents who are already stretched to the limits by the demands on their time.

I just worry about the flip side of the "good citizen" concept: You're a bad citizen if don't do the expected things. Nobody should feel guilty about making a top priority of their work or family life. If people don't have time to pass a citizenship test now, they can take a cue from you and enjoy it for retirement :)
