Domestic (War) To-Do List

I'll join my fellow Js here and add a list. I almost called it the "doo-doo" list instead of the "to-do" list since it is made up of a bunch of crap that no one usually wants to deal with in America because of the difficulty of making progress on the related issues. With that said, someone did think that spreading democracy in the Middle East was not going to be a bunch of crap - and look how dirty our trunks are now! We make choices and pay the price (and the price is usually not right under W).

I have worked for and with non-profits of all sizes and state and local govs who combat the issues listed below, but they usually scrape up resources versus easily getting the focus and funds they need - so I ask, when do our wars at home become our priorities? Maybe if we can relate some of them to terror, Rovey-pops would change direction. Walking to work has already shown me NJ's #1 enemy.

To-Do	What's In The Way?
Get Rid of Gangs	Fear, Underfunded Police
Get Rid of Poor/Unhealthy School Lunches	Commercial Food Lobbyists

Clean Up the Military (give the ASVAB to all Americans)	Class Issues
American Warming	Everything and Everyone Who is Apathetic
Justice in the Courts	Class Issues, Subjectivity
