What with a whole batch of wars in the Middle East that could at any time ignite into a major regional confrontation, not to mention the deteriorating environment, global warming, etc, am I alone in feeling a deepening sense of unease??? (which isn't helped by the scarily huge amount of racist abuse and ignorance I see posted on this site).
As an "older" person, am I the only one to nostalgically remember the good old days of the cold war (when "mutually assured destruction" meant that no-one, not even Bush, would dare press the button first). When you might, just, be better off red than dead? And when, environmentally, we all worried about when the next ice age would arrive?
