What's your priority for the US?

With so many urgent situations, what's your priority for the US? Avoid letting fear be your guide.

As a nation we are ignoring the very real threats of climate change, a collapsing economy & humanitarian / basic support programs, and never ending wars at home and abroad, while continuing the madness of anti-terrorism hysteria.

Join Ani for a discussion on how fear is hurting us. What are you most concerned about? Spriraling poverty? Climate change? The continuation of wars, seemingly without end? The ending of crucial social programs? or the threat of a terrorist, doing something... somewhere, sometime.....

Joshua Holland is Ani's guest this morning. He is an editor and senior writer at AlterNet, and has just published the article “How Fearmongering Over Terrorism Is Endangering American Communities.”
