Stop Vacuuming the Valuable Coins - It Sucks
Some thoughts that can help any leader expand in the face of conflict. And, here's why I came out as an undecided voter on CNN.com: It's not offensive; it doesn't push a political view.

Campaigns capitalize on it as they surround the coins with as much dirt as possible hoping it will all get vacuumed up. The irony is that the coins are valuable even to those piling on the dirt, and everyone loses when the vacuum blindly runs.
