Politicians.
It seems there's not a one of these lying, cheating, conniving, two-faced scumbuckets who are fit to even wipe my dogs ass, never mind run a country.
As someone once said (sort of) ~ anyone who wants to be a politician should be disqualified from being so, merely for the sake of that want.
Oh, and I don't confine this to UK/USA …… I firmly believe they're ALL like that, all over the world.

DM, are you back in your mealy-mouthed phase? Spit it out man! What are you really trying to say?
Seriously, are you advocating a jury-duty kind of third parliamentary house to ratify or strike out legislation made up of drafted people who may actually collectively reflect the will of the people rather than the will of the political/military/commercial apparatus? Well? Are you? If not, why not?

I wonder if that form of government has ever been tried, and if so, how well it fared.

It's against the political will. Shit and hell, the people may start to expect that government may do what they want. Can't have that.

I'm tired of whiny people who get in trouble for something they easily could have avoided if they hadn't been so stinking stupid to begin with. I mean really!!!

Ignorant, irrational, self-entitled people.
We see it here with tourists often, "I'm [insert nationality], you can't tell me what I can't do".

1) the cold (and it's barely even November)
2) work...I really must investigate that whole "independently wealthy" thing
3) people knocking on my door when they can't figure out how to do something
4) getting woken up by:
a) Mrs. WI coming to bed an hour after I've fallen asleep and turning the tv on!
b) the damn dogs scratching and gnawing at themselves or leaning against me
c) my alarm clock
5) not getting woken up by Lilith doing unspeakable things to me in my sleep

I'm tired of all the good-for-nothing-politicians who exempt themselves from everything they mandate us to do.
I'm tired of federal politicians who pass expensive programs and then tell the states to pay for them; or state politicans who pass expensive programs and then tell the cities to pay for them.
I'm tired of all polliticans who vote themselves pay increases without having to secure approval by the people.
I really think that maybe I'm just tired of politicians.

Just a quick note...I'm still tired of these.

Start setting radio alarms at random early morning times. Get up, do something on the computer, then go back to sleep. Unfair is unfair.
