Review of Commentary - Quinn Sullivan - What Texans Should Do
Though this commentary is specifically aimed at Texans, it addresses us all. Just this morning, listening to reports on the courage needed to vote in upcoming elections in Afghanistan and Iraq, I was thinking how depressing that American voter turnout is so low. This commentator opines: “It’s our cultural appetite for making political decisions based on emotional responses to incomplete facts that spells trouble for the future.” Yep. Good drop-in length for ME or ATC pre-election.
