In 2012, it's clear that neither America's political left or right knows or cares the first thing about dealing with the nation's challenges and ills, starting with its sick economy. It's hard to imagine even a small room filled with politicians who know how and are determined to do right by their country and planet Earth. Informed and visionary leaders, I'm guessing, can be far more easily found in universities,...
