"These, Tom, are the Causeheads. They find a world-threatening issue and stick with it for about a week. "
This remark from the witty, main character, Droz, is an example of "poisoning the well." As Droz gives a campus tour he points out the group of students who similate the cause-driven hippies of the 1970's. By making such a caustic remark, he is warning the guy not to be like them or apart of their group because they are lame and he would be wasting his time.
