In no particular order, and certainly not a conclusive list, but there are some things that really bother me that I'll call Big Picture Problems:

• Federal Defecit Spending and the growth of the national debt
• The continued plundering of limited resources and other environmental issues
• Politicians
• Overpopulation
• Nuclear proliferation
• The continued abatement of freedoms in the name of "security"
• The ever-increasing power of corporations over people
• Lack of universal healthcare

Accordingly, I'd like to say thanks to the hard-working individuals and organizations who work to improve things, including:

• The ACLU
• The EFF
• Greenpeace
• Citizens Against Government Waste
