Most of the problems listed in this poll are directly influenced by the sheer numbers of people and how they continuously bicker about what is right or wrong.

Similar feeling here... Far too many humans fail to be eco-friendly. Humanity as we know it has many likeable achievements but is far from being the ideal form of life, and is at best a transitional specie.

Any cybernetician with reassuring ideas suggest a way out please ? 

SF readers would hope we won't go for  Asimov s solution on "The Foundation" cycle , ie burn the Earth in order to motivate human expansion to the stars... Myself i long for the first human walk on Mars!

Some of the issues in this list really bug me and I don't give a f**k for some others mentioned here. As a citizen of Western Europe, I picked the erosion of civil liberties: national governments acting as white-collar workers for the Evil Union which takes away the sovereignty of its member states step by step and the sickening culture of political correctness from which my country has got multifold portions lately in this time of the year.

The only thing that keeps me awake at night are personal/family issue, or phone calls from work at 4am like this morning.

Self explanatory really. What, if anything keeps you awake at night?
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
