Who left this message? I like the thinking and it's good that you told me your source of information.

What a miserable lot you are! I think that in the future people will be much more caring about how what we do in one country affects people in other countries.

Dear anonymous

Yes, I would like you to read a book on the topic of future; everyone has time to read! You can choose a book, magazine, article of any length, just be ready to use the thinking hats to evaluate it (facts, likes, dislikes, could be better if).

ENJOY your reading! Mr Beech
