Mental Illness. Just take a look at what the Left/Demos are espousing...hate, rage, intimidation, in-your-face incivility, corruption, spike in racism (Obama's true legacy), intolerance, violence, lies and manipulation, vulgarity, etc, etc, etc., and, apparently, millions of ordinary people go along with them. What else could be the cause of what is happening and what is on the verge of exploding...both here and throughout the world?

That's kind of why I voted Leadership. It's a good catchall for all that stuff Margie lists, but it's also responsible for most of the other choices in the poll when things truly go south: nuclear war; water; poverty, starvation, and in some places population control; the different methods of resource distribution, and the greed that will never be separated from that; and certainly religious differences are exploited by leaders of all persuasions at all levels.

Bad things happen when bad leaders attain power. And the pipeline for bad leaders seems to always be producing.

The existential threat facing us now, more dangerous than many others is D.J. Trump and the mesmerized rethugs and yes men base, he leads around by their noses.

That's a good answer that a lot of people wouldn't think about. Those plastics - 80% of which come from Asia - will break down into very small pieces which will get eaten by fish that will become food for predator fish, and eventually us. Apparently we will never rid the oceans of all those small pieces.

This is why it is so important now to 'Keep America Great' because if the dims get in they will tear it down oh so fast. Jobs not mobs.

Almost half of US jobs could soon be done by a robot or computer, according to Oxford University researchers.
