Why Am I Here?

Why am I here? People involved in trying to make this world/country a better place invariably wonder what their, or their government's, actions will do to change the future. The more information and ideas you are exposed to, the more forward-thinking people you interact with, can only help determine your personal decisions, whether it's voting for the next President, improving the environment, or influencing the direction of a company. All this said, the reason I am here is to review what others think in order to combine this information with my own beliefs to determine a prudent course of action- both personally and in business.
