How many things are you concerned about?
I've noticed that some people I meet tend to be 'concern-a-holics' - they have so many causes, things they avoid, things they think are Bad. Sometimes, these phobias sound a lot like paranoia. People 'discover' something that is Bad, but only a select few (including them) know about, while the rest of us carry on unconcerned, like lambs to the slaughter. There are some things that are certainly legitimate to worry about. I think almost anyone has a few things they're concerned about. I'm going to try to list as many as I can think of in five minutes. Maybe others would like to do the same. Or maybe The Government Mind Control will prevent you. ;-)
o Heavy metals and other toxic substances in the environment (mercury, etc)
o Global warming
o Deforestation/environmental damage outside of the above
o Expanding government power, limiting of individual freedoms, and totalitarianism
o Never-ending war
o Energy crisis
o Products produced with undue human or animal suffering - specifically things like diamonds, manufactured products in inhumane conditions, etc.
o 'Something happening' to my family, healthwise, due to an accident, or malice.
Hrm. Seems like I'm missing things, but that's what springs to mind.
