1. A pastime of many major governments, particularly the United States of America.
2. Organized mass-murder.
3. A way of keeping the population down, the people receptive to propaganda, the rate of technological invention up, and unemployment down.
4. The opposite of peace.
5. A very common state of affairs, possibly due to mankind's seemingly inherent tendency to, when confronted with a problem, find someone to blame and proceed to bash their head in.

Get the Godmug. Another necessary evil perpetrated by the government, which is itself a necessary evil. While many people disagree over just how much taxes they need to pay, it is stunningly obvious that we need to pay some taxes. Running the country, after all, isn't a part-time job.
The general reaction to taxes is high, usually because people are very attached to the small green slips of paper they call 'money.'

1: I'm a Democrat! I want higher taxes!

Get the taxesmug. A wave (or particle) that makes up electromagnetic radiation, or 'light.' This particle is also the quantization of the electromagnetic force. A vibrating electron will release a photon.
Scientists are still not sure whether photons are particles or waves. In reality, they have characteristics of both, leading some to suggest that they are particles which ride on an electromagnetic wave like surfers. One wonders what would happen if they fell off their hypothetical surfboards.
"Photon" is also used in The Hitchhiker Trilogy as a curse word, as in "What the photon is it, Ford?"

Get the governmentmug. 1. A very intelligent inventor in Greek mythology who supposedly invented the labyrinth. He was subsequently imprisoned by King Minos of Crete, but escaped with his son Icarus by creating wings made of seagull feathers, wax, and string. Icarus, however, flew too close to the sun, and the wax melted - he fell to his death in the Ocean.
2. An Artificial Intelligence in the game Deus Ex: The Conspiracy. Created by Majestic 12 in order to identify terrorists, it identified Majestic 12 as a terrorist organization itself. Its predecessor was the Morpheus prototype, and it later joined with Icarus to form Helios. One method of winning the game was to join with the Helios AI.
3. Me.
