    For America, I would have to say that the war on Iraq, Dems winning back Congress, immigration policies, NK, and Republican party problems would be at the top.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Devlin @ Jan 4 2007, 01:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Most important...</div>Then I would not consider things like North Korea and school shootings top stories. They are very, very overhyped and matter to a small part of the population.

That implies that I was talking about those stories but also others. I know it's pretty hard to parse sentences, but do your best.
