talking to myself

I find myself settled at my desk, looking at a stack of new books and talking to myself. Hmmm? So, could I interest any of you in a comment on the current Presidential campaigns? Or, should I ask, "Is there anyone under 35 who cares, really?" Do most of us assume our life and our "persuit of happiness" can go on forever? Do we assume that there will always be fuel to allow us to drive our car? Do we have faith in our American power and influence so much so that we feel there will never be another nuclear bomb? What do you think? Would you like to read an informative book about any of the above?
Suggestions: The End of America : a citizen's call to action by Naomi Wolf; Over a Barrel : the costs of U.S. Foreign oil dependence by John S. Duffield; Deception Pakistan, the United States, and the Secret Trade in Nuclear Weapons by Adrian Levy & Catherine Scott-Clark;
