"Voicing Reason - In A Time Of Dramatic Turbulence & Turmoil" is about today's -mid-year 2018 - headlines as well as those of the last 4 decades or so.The book begins what I call The Appetizer - an urgent and brief alert about what I see as the somewhat "misguided", off-target, Democratic Party national leadership's choice of platform/theme for this year's crucial election - an anti-corruption campaign. And I make my to-the-point suggestion of a campaign more aimed at Moving Forward Together: Taking Back Congress and State Legislatures. As I see it: direct and to the point, about what needs to get done for election 2018!"The Main Course" is a broad-ranging survey of dozens of commentaries from the last 4 decades or so, about American history, politics, economics, and social commentary with particular relevance to mid-year 2018 and going forward. And I also present the thoughts of some very important global thinkers and commentators, looking at the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandala and Malcolm X, among many others, in concise but detailed excerpts from notable thinkers, writers and commentators.Included among the dozens of commentators and notable thinkers are excerpts from and about: David Von Drehle, Jason Chervokas, David Sarno, Patricia B. Seybold, Clive Thompson, Malcolm Gladwell, Peggy Noonan, Leonard Pitts Jr., Thomas Friedman, Hal Varian, Isaac Asimov, Matt Ridley, Rana Foroohar, Edward Luttwak, Joseph Schumpeter, Robert J. Samuelson, David Rothkpf, Naomi Klein, Jon Meachem, Daniel J. Boorstein, John Gardner, James Fishkin, Francis Fukuyama, Nichols Kristof, Mortimer B. Zuckerman, Nancy Gibbs, Mugambe Jouet, Geoff Colvin, Cornel West, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Friedrich A. Hayek, George Lakoff, Lawrence Lessig, Stewart Brand, Paul Ehrlich, Bono, Edward O. Wilson, Jeffrey D. Sachs, and Congressman John Lewis.And I end the effort with a hopefully elevating and uplifting prose-in-poetic-form effort, titled "Only Two Things" - what I see as the two basic components of a highly satisfactory belief system that a person can put, invest, his or her faith and trust in: what is see as "the spark of life", which connects all of humanity; as well as the "creative spirit", the source of all possibilities; with the necessary caveat that the source of all possibilities means without boundaries and limitations, including that of morality and ethics! And for us to remember: man has been given the freedom of choice, to choose if what is imagined, visualized, is actually brought to reality! And that what is found in one is found in all; so we are all responsible for what anyone in particular chooses - for the better or the lesser; since that choice could be within all of us, as well! Yes, it is within each of us to make choices for the better or lesser, and for the possibilities we strive to make into our reality!
