I expect I have read other stuff by you on Rolling Stone before (I am a fan of Matt and follow his blog), but just caught the tag end of your article and noticed you were not going to be contributing there any more. I appreciate your writing, I just wish it were possible to put control of our nation into the hands of people like you instead of the mess we have today.
