Political rant: The lack of a public healthcare system The lack of a high-speed rail system The power corporations have to pollute the environment and frack and steal resources without anyone doing anything about it. The horrible lack of labor standards and the fact that our minimum wage is merely $7.25 an hour. Corporate personhood The simplistic mentality of "caring for poor people and saying the banks and corporations have too much power=socialism=bad" The Westboro Baptist Church itself, and the fact that they have the right to protest at funerals. The fact that people with the intelligence of Todd Akin can be on the House's Science Comittee The two-party system and the electoral college (not to mention the FPTP) The lack of limits on corporate campaign funding The literalist degrees to which the second amendment is interpreted The rigid social conservatism of so much of the population The lack of a real welfare system The defense hawk militarist mentality The levels of summer drought we get The levels of Racism The levels of Homophobia The power of the banks The fact that everything sold and used here (INCLUDING OUR FRICKEN' OLYMPIC UNIFORMS) are made in China The lack of government arts funding Rick Perry
Non-political: Obesity and fast food Daniel Tosh Country and rap music Donald Trump (okay, semi-political) The way (wannabe) gangsters think it's cool if your trousers are descending in the back. The fact that we haven't adopted the metric system (semi-political)
