Afrocentrism

Once just a 1980s black American fad, now a New Age cult.

Afrocentrism might be one reason why both Ebonics and the wanksta mentality are now virulent.

Money

A medium of exchange required in a ridiculously large quantity in order to make modern life's miseries easier to work with. Typically the people who need money don't have it or will never have any, while those who don't need it are usually the ones who squander it foolishly.

Whoever said "Money isn't important" was probably a filthy rich person to begin with.

Genesis

SEGA's last great console before they wasted their money on add-ons and mediocre-quality consoles like the SEGA CD and the SEGA 32X.

If SEGA followed similar marketing strategies and advertising efforts on one single console as they did on the Genesis before 1992, and not wasted so much money on poor product ideas, the company would still be making consoles today.

Amway

A cult that promotes its expensive products in order to convert potential followers.

I think i will work for Amway now that my house is chock full of useless Amway products that cost ten times as much as products I can buy at a local store.

war on drugs

Wouldn't even survive a simple cost/benefit analysis. Besides, the LEGAL drugs (alcohol, tobacco, caffeine) are the ones that are being abused MORE than marijuana, LSD, or cocaine anyway.

The War on Drugs costs too much because we are putting otherwise innocent people in prison for even holding trace amounts of drugs which otherwise have no negative side effects if used properly. There is no significant benefit because the taxes just keep rising, the police system discriminates the poor, the prisons are always overcrowded, and drug use is STILL increasing.
