Population Growth!
Population Growth Article
The growth of the worlds population is going to keep growing at a detrimental rate if we do not act, this is not one of those problems that is so far into the future that we will not see it because it will be in our lifetimes, 40 yrs will be gone in a blink of an eye along with our natural resources.

Education today!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ac/20110120/pl_ac/7642654_college_student_ideal_obama_speech_would_touch_on_tuition_loans_and_grants
I know this doesn't affect all students but it would be nice if we did implement a cap on private college tuitions to make them more affordable for students, I know that if we were to place a cap on these that either the private colleges would have to cut cost somewhere else or get some kind of state or federal funding so that they can remain competitive with State schools.
I do agree with the increase of the pell grant, but i think it should come with some stipulations such as a minimum GPA to become eligible for an increase in your grant, I don't think we should keep giving out Federal grant money to just anyone in financial need unless they meet certain requirements. This would need to be more ironed out of course but the current problem does need to be fixed and I think that a GPA scale to money received ratio could be a good solution in making us able to increase the grant while only giving the maximum grant to the serious students.
Not the easiest things to accomplish but I don't think that America currently puts the emphasis it needs to on Education as other countries do or as we once did.
Any other thoughts or opinions on the current state of the education system in America today and what we could or should do to fix it? Or should we leave it as is? You dont have to keep topics to just this article, im just interested on the outlook from another perspective. thx

The intended audience is anyone who views the cartoon but mostly countries with people who are in fear of terrorism occurring.
The writer is Kurt Westergaard the cartoon artist.
The bomb fuse going into his turban is what creates the persuasive rhetoric.
