“I was surprised, as always, by how easy the act of leaving was, and how good it felt. The world was suddenly rich with possibility.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road
As America looks out on the road ahead, we are surprised ... emotional ... and increasingly vehement.
Our political preoccupation over the years as citizens in a democracy has been with "who is at the wheel". And this obsession has systematically and foolishly distracted us from the more important question of "where we are headed".
And so, it is time to ask Americans a threefold question:
- Are we at a crossroads in America?
- Or are we nearing our final destination?
- And how can we know which it is?
