In a time of environmental turmoil, government disenchantment, high unemployment, religious upheaval, and geographic colonization, our future seems almost hopeless. Where does one focus his/her attention, commitment, and energy? If you live in California, specifically, San Francisco the important topics are numerous and each must be considered with equal anxiety. Most issues are surprising even to the people that make it their lifelong purpose to consider and find the worst of everything in life.
What is on top of the mind most San Franciscans? I thought about this question for a while and I came up with a list of what may be waking us during the night with cold sweats in our silk pajamas. The following topics flood the local and national newscasts for what feels like around the clock reinforcing all the negativity in the world. What is important to deal with first that is the question? What would resolve or solve these crises so we can all get back to doing whatever it is that we do after watching the morning news (negative energy while sitting/standing). My head started hurting putting this list together.
