10 Things I Hate About The World We Live In...

When I saw that title, I smiled a sarcastic, sardonic smile that (even though no one was looking) I was know was dripping with mockery. What could I say about what I hate in the world today...so much...so so much.

I realize part of the humor in this is the fact that I am LIMITED to 10 things. Limited, sadly. This isn't difficult, to come up with 10 things I hate about the world I live in...what a sad state to be in, just knowing and being interested in a title like that...because you know you definitely have something to say...

10. George W. Bush (Jr.) - I know it seems silly, to waste any emotion at all on the man, even hatred. I know it seems silly to people who like and respect him...or at least people who respect him even if they don't like him. But there are simple reasons why. Ever since he went into office, this country has been getting worse...steadily and increasingly worse. He is war hungry against the advice of most everyone on his council, his own family..the whole of the country. He has ruined and destroyed so much good in the world because he is a selfish man who wouldn't know what was best for this country even if he somehow DID IT. I can't help it and I don't care who does or doesn't understand, I hate George Bush and everything he stands for. I hate him for everything he has done to this world and the people in it. Millions have lost their lives due to decisions he made, and those lives were NOT lost for the greater good, they were lost in vain.

9. The United States Government - Strange to have this right under our President, but whatever...there are things I hate more, so these are the last 2 on the list. I hate our government for reasons that are far too many and too great to go into detail here. Let me just say that I am somewhat political and I have a great store of knowledge on what goes on the world, a never ending string of conspiracy theories that I am postulating upon, and tons of internet, book, video, newspaper, and magazine research to give me a decent buffer when it comes to those of you who wish to accuse me of 'not knowing what I am talking about.'

8. Government - In general I disagree with most forms of government. We in America claim to have the best system overall, yet we are an inherently stupid country full of violence and problems. We claim that monarchies are unsuccessful and oppressive forms of government, yet many of the MOST successful and beautiful societies throughout history
