Too often, our concern for specific individuals today means neglecting crises that will harm countless people in the future.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed, people will not know who is responsible.
Crises are part of life. Everybody has to face them, and it doesn't make any difference what the crisis is.
When they are assailed by despair, young people should let universal concerns into their lives.
There also is the plight that comes from natural disasters; these natural disasters could be alleviated or dealt with; we only need some time to do it.
I worry about the many things that could happen to the people I love.
So not only do we need to deal with threats as they emerge, we have to be thinking in anticipation of future threats, and the things we do have to be things that enable the system to continue to work.
We have the American people properly concerned about the future of our country and the world.
My biggest concern is that America is drifting towards mediocrity and that people don't recognize - and by people I'm meaning Washington - don't recognize the sense of urgency and the fact that I don't think this is a crisis anymore. I think it's an emergency.
We all worry about the population explosion, but we don't worry about it at the right time.
The future is going to require really smart people. What we think are crises today probably will be no big deal, and we have no idea what will really be crises in the future.
