I voted for Capitalism.

It's very important that Capitalism be spread far, and spread wide.

Capitalism is why North Americans & Western Europeans have the highest standard of living in the world, why the socialist, communist, and corrupt cleptocracy nations live in poverty, oppression, and squalor.

And for environmental reasons too. Capitalism is good for the environment and the Earth.

Every capitalist nation pn Earth has Zero Population growth right now (except of immigration) because capitalism breeds wealth and a nice lifestyle, with no need to have more kids than you want.

Socialist, Communist, and Agrarian nations like China, India, and everywhere in Africa have overpopulation problems because more kids means more people working the fields, more people working the factories, and more kids to help fight the endless civil wars that seem to spring up in nation that have no hope for the future, ie, Sudan.

Capitalism = Efficency= Wealth = Happy Populace = Less War, Less Raping of the Earth.

The erosion of civil liberties, and the pretense of trading freedom for security, it doesn't work that way.

I don't see GW as an issue per se, simply because Fossil Fuels are going bye-bye no matter what, there's really nothing to argue. But if it counts as fossil fuels then it's the most important.

Not surprisingly, "false flag terror" (or state-sponsored terror) isn't included as one of the options...

Animal Rights!!
Like this post? Yes | No    

An ongoing issue.. until every cage is empty. We have just started a new group in Australia ALY (Animal Liberation Youth) to get the word out and educate people who are unaware of what goes on behind closed doors. If you're interested please visit our new site:

www.animalliberationyouth.org

Thanks! Jodie

Actually the "most important" issue is an all-encompassing one. We're reaching the end of this age and everything as we know it now is going to change in the most dramatic way imaginable. You guys are gonna shit yourselves, or those who aren't paying attention, that is.

fossil fuels are going to run out soon, the world has to accept it. renewable energy is one of the biggest issues at the moment, but not while the oil companies are making their billions.
global warming is happening whether we like it or not: the ice caps are melting because we are still on our way out of the last Ice Age, and these is masses of evidence showing that climate change has been happening for millions of years, and all we have done is give it a very small (like less than 1 percent) helping hand.
what really bothers me is not the gaseous emissions (the seas absorb millions of tonnes of CO2 and other gases as part of the natural atmospheric cycles) but deforestation, pollution of the land and seas with landfill and chemical spills, etc...
the rapid and rampant destruction of natural resources other than fossil fuels is my biggest concern.
