Nice note on Collapse sent to me
I read your book; it is excellent. I doubt many who read it expect a feel good warm fuzzy. Those with the situational awareness to recognize that their instincts are on fire and the courage to ask themselves what they can do will be well served by your concise and well written analysis. Your synopsis of where we are as a nation and how we got here is brief and well thought out. It is what we do next that is critical, and it is there you have given the reader a compass. Fair winds and following seas to a better future for our beloved country than many of us currently see on the horizon. Semper Fidelis. You are a true patriot. --Dean.
