Why wars never end, throughout history; why medicine cannot win the war against microbes and disease; why people believe politicians even though they are liars; why thirteen years of school (or even seventeen or more) often does nothing to prepare you for life; why divorce is so common; why people are declared "survivors" of cancer by doctors if they live a year before they die; why the pope is supposedly the only person on Earth who is appointed to talk with God; why TV shows are so dumb; why "all men are created equal" didn't include blacks or women; why countless thousands of sightings of UFOs by reliable people are all dismissed as hallucinations; why people who call themselves "compassionate" or "Christian" believe in torture; why billions of people around the world do not even have clean water to drink, electricity, or enough food to eat, while the number of billionaires keeps growing; why women are considered spiritually inferior to men in traditional religions; why the different news networks seem to read from the same script; why you can't pronounce most of the ingredients in what you call food; why tobacco can be sold when it is more deadly and as addictive as heroin; why half the US population now takes prescription drugs, daily; why cancer is increasing; why children nowadays have to be taught not to bring guns to school; why allergies are increasing; why an acting career in Hollywood is believed to be good preparation for a political career; why children have sex at an ever younger age, and even pre-teenagers believe oral sex is not really sex; why there is more and more devastation from natural disasters; why "terror alerts" terrorize people and keep them living in fear; why true love is hard to find; why the "war on drugs" was never won; why it can be hard to solve your own problems?
