Poll question: Which of these is more of a threat to your future?

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. Financial system, followed by peak oil, followed by global climate change.

[B o d i]

19. I intentionally left 'terrorism' off the list. I wondered how long it would take for someone to

mention it, but nobody has, even four hours later.



Dick Cheney would be so disappointed in you all. Waugh! Waugh!

[GreenPartyVoter]

24. I dunno. I am pretty darned terrified of those three things I listed. And I believe they were

purposely foisted upon us. x(

[leftstreet]

2. The Ruling Class has people convinced it's the 'financial crisis'

:rofl:

Let their Capitalist Ponzi scheme FAIL.

The greater pressing threat to us peons is:

NO JOBS
NO SOCIAL SERVICES
PRIVATIZATION
CORPORATE RULE

[flvegan]

3. Alien invasion.

[scarletwoman]

4. I thought zombies were the problem. Or robots.

[scarletwoman]

5. Other: Corporatism. It needs to be killed off if the rest of us are to survive. (nt)

[LWolf]

6. Other:

The ascendancy of corporatism, fascism, and theocracy within the U.S. government.

[frebrd]

8. Bingo! n/t

[Christian30]

7. I voted for "economic collapse"

But given that I'm a major fan of both Joss Whedon and George Romero, I'm still betting on the Hellmouth or a zombie apocalypse.

[alsame]

9. Other: Republicans. They will try to prevent

solutions to current problems and will undoubtedly cause future problems that we can't even imagine yet.

[Speck Tater]

10. Some hold that the economic collapse is a symptom of peak oil. nt

[ColbertWatcher]

11. Corporatism. Because it's the cause of a few of the others. n/t

[leftofthedial]

12. Capitalism leads to corporatism leads to collapse of the global economy

so, among your answers, I suppose "corporatism" is closest, although it is an inevitable symptom of capitalism.

[Demeter]

13. Geithner, Summers, Rubin, et al.: Goldman Sachs

Because they are making a bad situation so much worse in the economic collapse.

[Sebastian Doyle]

14. Corporatism, because its the root cause of all the others

With the possible exception of the Mayan prophecy stuff.

15. Other: no health insurance

If a person has no health insurance, they are not likely to have much of anything checked out. They're just hoping for the best. We have many silent killers that, if caught early, can be managed. Because of this lack of care, millions are prevented from this option with their health.

Personally, I have a very good policy but I sure know what it's like not to have one. I want everyone to have good, quality insurance.

16. Zombies are the solution to our woes. nt

[rug]

17. Other: American Idol

[LiberalPersona]

18. Corporatism

It's the cause of the failing economy as unregulated capitalism is unsustainable and our withering freedoms as the non-elite becomes more and more of a slave class.

Peak oil is a symptom of this as the corporate elite has held us back from developing and putting to wide use other sources of energy because oil makes too much money for them money.

[cliffordu]

20. Mother. For sure.

[Mike 03]

21. Choice number two. Collapse of the global financial system. NT

[readmoreoften]

22. Other: capitalism.

The whole "corporatism" thing is just a neologism for folks who want to revert to 19th century capitalism in a 21st century world. "Corporatism" is the unavoidable state of 21st century capitalism. We're never going to be a nation of wholesome mom and pop stores who don't pay off government officials. It's not going to happen.

My vote would be a tie between loosely regulated capitalism and overpopulation.
