Me, I'd put healthcare ahead of counterterrorism too -- bad healthcare indubitably kills more Americans annually than the "thousands, or hundreds of thousands" Goldberg talks of. But global warming is THE issue: unless that's tackled real soon now, the casualty figures are going to be in the billions . . . and there isn't going to be an America.

Hard to care about cancer or anything else if you've already died of starvation and thirst.
