1. Fast food - I know how I have ruthlessly attacked the fast food industry numerous times, but
I think that it's for good reason. The idea sounds great on paper: People can get their good tasting food quickly and on-demand.
Innumerable heart attacks and quadrouple bipass surgeries later, fast food just makes me guilty when I eat it. I, personally,
feel that those giants of taste are out to get us because of all the fat they use. They don't have to use it, the salt either.
Fast food would be off of this list if it would stop trying to kill me. Sorry.
2. The War in Iraq - This one did kind of sound good in theory. We would be ridding the world
of terrorists and weapons of mass destruction that threaten to kill large numers of people. There was one problem in this,
howver: Iraq had no ties to either of those. It makes me scratch my head. It's as if we needed a country to pass the blame
of world terror onto. Poor Iraq. Some people will argue that we did take out a ruthless killer (AKA Saddam). We removed him
under a guise of falicies, and that's not the way I would want to be removed if I were a dictator. I would want to be allowed
to at least do something big first. Yep, I'm talking about the circus.

3. Ferbies - Talk about the quintessential creepy toy. I was excited to get mine when I was like seven
or something. It was like having a baby, that is if babies came in a package and was covered in feathers. Ferby was fun because
you could talk to him...sort of. You would yell something to him at least six times, and he still wouldn't understand what
you were saying. Then when you put him in your closet because you get sick of him, he strats to talk and asks if you want
to play a game. Mine went insane, and we sent him away. That's beside the point.
4. Smoking - This one I hope everyone is on the boat me. Back in the mid-1900's, everyone was smoking,
even the children (see Ozzy Osbourne). Then came the 90's, when the tobacco companies were filed against in court resulting
in hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements. In the 2000's, however, the smoking rate of adults in America has decreased
three-fold. America is one of the leading countries in smoking improvements, and many restaurnats (sometimes all of the restaurants
in certain cities) are smoke-free. I don't know what caused this. Maybe it's those stupid PSA's with the clearly paid celebrities
ranting on about the dangers of drugs. Then again, maybe not. I guess, it doesn't matter. Smoking is bad, and America is finally
getting that message.
This message brought to you by the Campaign for a Better America...just joking.
