Media. I think the media is the root of all evil. They report to mucn stuff. They go WAY to far with their stories and do so much to gat a story. One TV network is against the other network for ratings. They cause panic and ruin more lives then I think all those others combined. Alcohol and tobacco are not so bad if used properly. Firearms are only dangerous if the person using them decides so. Lawyers well they are needed but have a bad rep. Gambling has some good and bad but I think more good. Unemployment checks and welfare does help some people although a lot of people take acvantage and ride the system and the fashion industry is not dangerous at all. LOL.

Alcohol, tobacco, and all illegal drugs. This would reduce the negative power of the media; remove a lot of the need for firearms, lawyers, and gambling; many of the people on welfare and unemployment would need a lot less money; and people would have cash to squander on fashion. And perhaps it would make people as a whole a lot less stupid...

Unemployment Checks and Welfare. . . . no offense to anyone out there but. . . nothing will make you work harder at getting the bills paid like Not having a job. And friends will only help for so long. I think that all it really does is create a false sense of self and perpetuates laziness. And it's morally wrong to reward people for not being responsible. But here in the beautiful U S of A, welfare runs ramant, as does laziness. And that's my final answer, Regg!

The Media
It keeps people in the dark about the truth of world events and it is totally controlled by the government as far as events like 911...)(

Firearms
Although they are used in some good ways (eg: peacekeeping, law enforcement), they cause more harm than good. Before firearms, there were plenty of ways to kill people. Firearms only made it more efficient. Generally not good.

*Alcohol and Tobacco plus all illegal drugs.*
My Aunt Chris died from drugs.
Aunt Martha died from smoking, and Aunt Cindy is getting tumors from it.
And drunk driving is really bad.
