Your 3 Wishes for 2011
That is, those issues you would most like to see addressed and in which order. Here's mine:

1) Ending the wars/occupations in Afghanistan and Iraq

2) Stimulating the economy from the bottom up, not the top down

3) Global Warming

What's yours?

3. 1) Jobs 2) SS/Medicare backstop 3) End the damn wars
Jobs are the key to recovery, IMO. SS/Medicare defunding scares the crap out of me. Ending the wars will never go off the top list until they are ENDED.

5. Start with ending all military occupations.
Bring the military guys home....all of them. That will do a great deal to address my first aim, which is environmental degradation and global warming.

Stimulate the world economy by revising the hold that the corporations have on the money supply. Right now, all they are doing is ripping off as much as they can before the whole system implodes. Looking at Germany and other European systems might help a great deal.

Seeing a true left arise in North America, one that would sweep the corruption into the daylight and the thieves out of office.

6. Mine are more like three wishes.....
1. Single payer universal health care
2. The disappearance from the earth of right wing lying talking heads
3. The appearance of an informed, intelligent, voting American public

All equally unattainable... :(

7. .
1) Get some damn money

2) Start my own damn business

3) Get the hell out of this damn rental house

I know I'm on DU - but Obama just isn't as much of a BFD in my daily life as some.

11. You wish for global warming?
I have no wishes. For me to wish for something usually assures it will never happen.

15. I share some of the same...
but some more realistic wishes (sadly):

1. That newly elected and corrupt Republican Gov. Nathan Deal here in GA has to face some real heat and investigations while in office

2. That John Boehner decides to have one of his crying spells during a flight back from Israel with the President.

3. Glenn Beck gets caught with child pornography (for some reason I could see it being realistic that he'd collect it - like with Pee-Wee Herman when they found his stash we just weren't surprised)
