Off the Shelf...

Just finished reading The Next Civil War, and it was a worthwhile read. "Oh, Tam!" you say, "The author's a liberal!" Well, duh. He's a Canadian expat.

Still, just like your friends may have some outsider's insights on your family quarrels, Marche brings an informed and concerned, but ultimately detached, viewpoint to the centripetal forces straining our national seams right now. Plus, the guy went to a wide array of sources to come up with the half-dozen or so hypothetical scenarios in the book. 

It's worth a read, even if... maybe especially if ...you find yourself frequently disagreeing with the author.
