1. The one that scares me is the "Star Wars" missle defense system |
|
- That and the starvation of our school systems. - Infrastructures throughout the country badly in need of repair (highways, water, sewer systems etc) - Global Warming should be getting HUGE headlines but gets barely a mention. - Implications of our debts to China & Japan. - How are Ben & Jen doin'?
