In what direction should voters be going?

Dear friends,

I have seen this particular writer's work before. His name is Dick Polman of the Philadelphia Imquirer. However, while I can only recall having ever really connected with him - maybe once or twice, I am quite eager to share this beautiful piece with you, on the link below. For, at least to me, it is both very informative and equally thought-provoking. Enjoy!
