I believe what you call hot topics are real issues.  If I'm not able to agree with a politician on moral issues...then there is no way I am voting for him/her.  War and money are important issues, but I believe ending the murder of innocent humans, and preserving the family are extremely important issues as well.

You could always pull some topics from whats happening in the world today. You could also tackle topics that are controversial. I think one topic that might be interesting is "How liberal is the media".\n\nBeing that you are interested in Conservative Journalism you may want to read "Letters to a Young Conservative" by Dinesh D'Souza. You can find it at amazon.com or your local library may have it.\n\nGood luck with your endeavor!

My first choise of changing anything in this world would be so there would be no more sickness, ilnesses like aids, cancer, leukemia which are killing so many people daily, including lots of kids. \nMy second choise would be to change the hate betwen nations and people of different races, belives and religions. I think this is probably the most major problem of our sociaty today at global level. It was in the past too but its more today. \n\nI will have to think and choose just 1 of this lol

Pollution: Possibly adding to the global warming theory, especially prolifent during times of early scientific advancement I.E. Industrial Revolution and The Roman Industrialisation which created the second largest period of pollution.\n\nEthical Issues: Scientific advancemnts mainly pioneered by medical, military and the government have led to ethical problems. Obvious flash point include cloning, bioweapons etc.\n\nSurvival Of the fittest: This has been to a large extent diminshed due to mankinds medical wish to extend or protect the lifes of weaker members of society who in the natural world would have expired. This in turn leads to a burden on society. \n\nEscalation: This can be viewed as a negative effect. Whilst it does push the boundaries of science and engineering, such example as the space race can be positive. However, as far as creation of bigger and bigger weapons to out-arsenal the apponent goes, it cannot be presumed a good thing as it leads to problems with management, global security and worldwide relations.\n\nEnlightenment: Whilst in most cases there is no problem with the human race opening its eyes, there is the argument that humans are moving beyond their power to understand and comprehend. There is the argument that ignorance in our species is one of the things that leads to happiness. That by finding out all the most spiritual aspects of our lives are indeed scientific equations and chemical impulses that the human race loses part of what actually makes it human.\n\nI hope I have argued points correctly.\nCheers,\nDaniel.
