What disaster should I be writing about?

I’m off this evening to my third session of seven sessions of training for our local Community Emergency Response Team, which I posted about here and here. The most likely disaster my community faces is an earthquake because I live in Northern California.

However, I see so many disasters out there that I often struggle about what I should be focusing on. Here’s the short list:

1. Approximately 82% of our votes will be counted on secret software (touchscreen and optical scan voting machines) in the 2008 election;
2. We live on a swiftly melting planet.
3. Giuliani is the frontrunning Republican Presidential candidate
4. At attack on Iran feels more likely than not.

I’ll be back on board tomorrow.

  3. You're right, Tod. Deep down inside, despite my getting distracted (to wit, my post today about Tutu's un-invitation to speak at a university in Minnesota), I know that the really, really big issue is global warming.

    Thanks for bringing it to my attention in such a graceful way.
