(46,436 posts)7. I'm kind of concerned about politics in Alaska
and the November election. It's a little more close to home than ISIS, ebola, etc. I feel bad for the people that are dealing with the things you mentioned, but they don't really affect me personally. I guess I'm just getting too old to take on the burden of all the problems of the world. I prefer to deal with things I might have some impact on, like local politics.
