I've found Albom to be a pretty annoying writer (and radio host) most of the time. He's Detroit-biased and actually ignorant on specifics to an infuriating degree—I've almost drove my car off the road in a rage listening to him get shit flat-out WRONG on the radio when I lived in Ann Arbor. In most cases he clearly seems to have a FOX News-depth understanding of an issue and speaks in talking points.
But that column, though riddled with Albomisms, makes some very good points.
Thanks for the post Mr. Furious!
