Poll question: And the bigger long term problem for this country is ......
Let's make this a binary poll since I'm not saying either of these issues is necessarily **the** biggest issue.

1. Need "Other:" category.
I would have voted other. I believe that the largest problem facing our country is Capitalism Unrestricted. It can and is leading to the demise of our very democracy. Capitalism is feudalistic by nature and if allowed to have its way unrestricted acts like a cancer on it's symbiont democracy.

Global Warming may be pretty damned important to America as well but this and most any other of our problems can not be properly addressed until our unrestricted capitalism is brought back under control. The FISA issue is arguably a symptom of the capitalism unrestricted cancer.

2. Actually, the OP says pretty clearly I thought ...............
.... that this was a binary poll since it doesn't aver that either problem is the biggest. Therefore, no 'other' category was needed.
