9. I hope there is a deep, engrossing conversation around the First Amendment.

We need the First Amendment for protests, etc. But more evil and harm is done by allowing anything and everything to be said on social media, and the Press... who SHOULD be our standard bearers for First Amendment rights has failed this country more than I thought possible. There are others where First Amendments come with caveats. As long as those caveats aren't directed toward protecting those in government, I think changes could be made. But that will be a different time and age than I live in. It's hard to think I'll not be around to see much of what comes after.
