I so love your stuff Andrew but I want to say again it's TOO long! I'm just one data point I know. Break it up a bit. This piece is almost 3,000 words.

Better to leave readers wanting more than feeling exhausted. Again, your stuff puts most major media columnists to shame.

I want people to finish and send to a friend. I fear, like me, they think they'll come back to it later, and then send to a friend (later never happening).
