Book tours aren't what I had in mind. I had something more like building the Green Party into a serious political force, rather than the collection of amateurish malcontents it too often is. IMPORTANT QUALIFICATION: Not all Greens are amateurish malcontents; there are principled and serious people working within the party. But as an institution, it's very disappointing. And Nader, of course, has never been interested in building anything he couldn't control.
