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

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. |

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.
