8. I picked "children's future" because
it combines all the other choices. I am afraid to imagine the world my children will grow to adulthood in if Bush* stays in the WH another 4 years. Will their public schools survive? Will we be able to afford college? Will there be any jobs for them? Will the religious right finally triumph and make this a "Christian nation" where my children will be considered second class citizens? Will they be impoverished by taking care of us when we're old because of the failure of 401(K)s and pension plans and Social Security? Will they even be alive then, or will they be sacrificed as cannon fodder in the American imperial wars?:(

I worry about these things every day.
