Should you get a minute, ha ha, any more you could offer would be interesting. I think this is one of the next genuinely serious long range topics one needs to think about. Along with what is empire and are we one and if so is it a good or bad thing. Not to speak of all the country specific issues which seem to monopolize conversations.
