There are so many issues in our oceans - like the near extinction of blue fin tuna - that should be taken more seriously worldwide.
I believe that eventually, one of the next big issues that will have to be addressed globally is the role of state-owned enterprises. Because there is a disadvantage that's built in.

The issue is the Republican Party has been paying too much attention to Wall Street and not enough attention to Main Street.
The Simpsons can go anywhere in the world and not worry about any budgetary issues. However, even when the show has had its run, I think the characters can go on in perpetuity.
