Default What Concerns You The Most?
Kinda tough on picking one. I went with Religious Freedoms, as I don't want anyone to tell me what to believe, but good luck getting that without Military Interventions...

These are all valid points. I could have put economics in general, but that's too easy. I tried to narrow the focus.
You don't see terrorists on the list, per se.

Religious freedoms. Everyone should have the right to freedom of concious, and whenever possible freedom to act on it (we should limit things like murder of course (no sacrificing young virgins )).

God gave man freedom of conscious, as such it is imperative that we give others it (and yes, that means freedom to be Muslim, or Atheist, or Wiccan).

This is a tough one for me, but in the end I have to go with my own interests and vote for Health Benefits.

My two big concerns aren't actually on your list.

First is the erosion of Constitutional protections. We've been rapidly undoing our civil liberties, as well as eroding the checks and balances between the three branches of government. Maybe its because of where and with whom I work, but nothing concerns me more than this right now.

Second, I'm with Zkribbler: the increasing gap between the rich and poor, along with its corollary, the shrinking of the middle class. You cannot have a healthy democracy without a large, prosperous middel class.

From your list, I'd pick military interventions, not because I'm concerned about them per se, but because they've been used as the excuse to curtail civil liberties, disproportionately build up the power of the executive, and bankrupt the country -- all the things I think are the real threat to our future.

health benefits or should i say lack of them. no one cares about it until they find themselves without it , unable to afford it , forced to choose between medicine or food for the month.

I say environmental concerns top my list. No other issue comes anywhere near the same importance. No other issue has as great a potential to lead to Armageddon. It's more of a long term issue than the others, but well, I intend to live long enough that the predictions about how bad certain things will be in 2050 will affect me, as I do intend to be alive then.
