Rick Steve's take on the importance of travel

I just came across this after visiting the world reknown, traveling guru, Rick Steves blog. He has long been a person I look up to and have used for travel info and insight on previous trips. His site is http://www.ricksteves.com/blog/ and this is a copy of a recent post of his which I found quite profound! Click on the link below to head over to it. Looks like he had quite a few heated comments on this one as well. Not sure why I am passing this on, but since I am posting this week about travel, I guess we can look at this as kinda like a commercial! Here it is.
