Economy. As president-elect Barack Obama gets ready to take office, expect everyone from Hollywood to New York to start talking about the economy. Are we ready to invest in our infrastructure? Will the wise ones and millennials help create a 21st Century global economy for all of us to be able to prosper with. Can the American Dream be shared with the rest of the planet?
Web Sites. One hot web site: Daily Beast is an easy way to stay abreast of the news, all with a Tina Brown POV. Check it out.
Global warming. Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth is the largest-grossing documentary ever. This change is real…will you change your behavior to help stop it? Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, and Cameron Diaz are a few of the celebs who have.
Cell phones. Have we reached saturation usage? Is there a “return to land lines” movement? Is anyone tired of looking like a cyborg with their Bluetooth? You make the call…
Ending poverty. Bono will continue his crusade to erase Third-World debt and presidential candidate John Edwards says we could eliminate poverty in the US in 30 years. Is it possible?
Stem-cell research. The Michael J. Fox/Rush Limbaugh fracas pushed the issue back to national prominence. Congress is likely to vote on this soon…where do you stand?
Credit Cards. Will the ultra-thin plastic be thrown away unless the excessive 20-40% interest charges get back down to being fair and balanced? Not too long ago, 30% interest was considered usury - so let's see what Senator Biden will do for Americans, since his own state of Delaware is home to many of the CC companies that hit you with $39 late fees! Where do you weigh in?
Energy. Wait till our computer bills skyrocket! America and the world loves internet and right now it's still affordable. But all that can change quickly! Don't through your paper and magazines away too fast in 2009!
Beauty Reigns in 2009!. Some insiders say that “attitude is out” and a new beauty ideal will emerge. Stay tuned at Salon City…
