Rank these in terms of which are most important to you.
Or, if you prefer, pick the 3 most important issues facing Americans today.
Or simply discuss one or two that you feel strongly about.

For me, 1, 9, 11, 14 & 16 are the most worrisome.

1. Rising cost of healthcare and prescriptions
2. Drug use and abuse
3. Illegal immigration and its effect on jobs and healthcare system
4. Sexua pedophiles
5. Violent crime
6. White collar crime
7. Loss of jobs overseas
8. Current makeup of the Supreme Court
9. Global warming
10. Clean air, water
11. Loss of environmental diversity, habitat, mass extinctions, overall degradation of the world around us
12. Human rights violations arond the world
13. Continued civil unrest, instability in many AFrican countries
14. Continued instability in middle east, eg Iran and Palestinians
15. Haiti
16. North Korea
17. Sexually explicit and violent images on the media (TV, video games, etc) and effect on youth
18. Homelessness
19. Federal budget deficit
