what's it gonna take? part 2

It suffices to say that the party that runs against a lot of things but for nothing in particular is not going to do real well next time out. A viable platform is crucial. Ask yourself, "what are the three most pressing problems facing this country today?" Then come up with an idea to eliminate or mitigate that problem. Some, (but not all) of my issues are:

(listed in no particular order)

global warming. the US will be hit a lot harder by this issue than many countries, as we are the most dependent on a manufacturing and service economy, and, we generate the lions share of the cause of this problem, the use of fossil fuels for our energy needs.
what the nation needs, and soon, is a program to build more "renewable resource" energy plants, as well as a nuclear infrastructure. yes, I know, nuclear energy is bad and causes all kinds of other issues, but these are more likely to be slower at catching up with us, and we need to get on track with this problem right now!

the complexity of government: ya think?
I am not concerned with the size or scope of the government as much as I am the complexity of dealing with it at any level. if the trend does not chance, we will all become subservient to a thing, rather than a ruling class or despot.
