2. Declining personal economy, illegal immigration, war in Iraq,

educational failure, all pretty well sum up this disastrous Bush Presidency. Of course, the list would not be complete without neglect of the environment, corruption, illegality, and general incompetence.

I would have trouble rank ordering them, and the war in Iraq has an immediacy that compels attention, but all the others are eating away at us in ways that can't be ignored.

The next Democratic President is going to be faced with a mountain of problems, and that is why I think it is so urgent to get out of Iraq - to clear the way for attention to all these other things that matter.

5. Restoring the government to the people

Nothing matters before that because without a government responsive to the people all we have is marketing and Corporate influence guiding any actions that are taken.

6. None of the above.

Media consolidation so that we only hear part of any issue (if at all).
