#3 Ten problems plaguing civilization, circa 2000: socialism, the nanny state of overcontrolling management, destruction of true free speech, NIMBYism, Ludditism, rise of state sponsored pseudo religions, laws imposed without consent of the governed, inequities of expectations, failure of responsibilities, and standards of perfection which no people have ever achieved in human history.
