THE PEEVER PUTS HIS MARK ON WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY

• NUMBER ONE: IT'S INHABITED BY HUMANS.
• NUMBER TWO: MOST OF THOSE HUMANS ARE RIGHT-WING, CHRISTIAN, REPUBLICANS. ONE OR TWO WOULDN'T BE BAD. EVOLUTION WOULD EVENTUALLY TAKE CARE OF THEM.
• NUMBER THREE: WE NOW HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO IS NUTTIER THAN A FRUIT CAKE. HAVE YOU EVER TASTED A FRUIT CAKE? LEAVES A BAD TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH.
• NUMBER FOUR: WITH EVERYONE CARRYING A GUN, WHAT WE ARE GOING TO END UP WITH IS NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF SORROW. THAT, AND A BUNCH OF ITCHY TRIGGER FINGERS EAGER TO KILL SOMETHING. MOST GENERALLY, THAT WILL BE AN INNOCENT PERSON.
• NUMBER FIVE: JUST HOW IGNORANT DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO DENY EVOLUTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE? I'M GOING WITH AN IQ OF LESS THAN 50.
• NUMBER SIX: CAPITALISM AS IT HAS DEVELOPED WILL NOT WORK. IT HAS NO PLACE IN A DEMOCRACY. THE RICH ARE TOO GREEDY. WALTON FAMILY: $100 BILLION. KOCK BROTHERS: $79 BILLION. BILL GATES: $75 BILLION. WARREN BUFFETT: $60 BILLION. JEFF BOZOS: $45 BILLION. MARK ZUCKERBERG: $44 BILLION. THIS AMOUNT OF PERSONAL WEALTH IS DESTROYING THE ECONOMY AND DANGEROUSLY DISTANCING THE RICH FROM THE POOR. VIOLENT REVOLUTION WILL BE THE RESULT. UNDER TRUMP, THIS WILL GET MUCH WORSE.
• NUMBER SEVEN: WE HAVE A RIGHT-WING SUPREME COURT THAT IS GOING TO GET WORSE. THE COURT WILL PLACE IDEOLOGY ABOVE JUSTICE. ABORTIONS WILL SOON BE MOVED BACK TO ALLEYS. RELIGION WILL BE PLACED IN THE SCHOOLS AND CHRISTIANITY WILL BE DECLARED THE LAW OF THE LAND. WE WILL RAPIDLY BECOME A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. PUBLIC ANYTHING WILL BE A THING OF THE PAST. FUTURE TEXTBOOKS WILL RECORD THIS AS THE RETURN OF THE DARK AGES.
• NUMBER EIGHT: HEALTH CARE HAS BECOME A COMMODITY FOR SALE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT SICKNESS WOULD LEAVE PEOPLE BANKRUPT? IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. ONLY IN CAPITALIST AMERICA.
• NUMBER NINE: PERPETUAL WAR. BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE RICH. SEEMS IT HELPS THEM GET RICHER. THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT WHO DIES OR WHO IS INJURED. NOW WE TAKE UP COLLECTIONS TO HELP THEM. OUR TAX DOLLARS USED FOR MORE WAR WEAPONS. COLLATERAL DAMAGE IS NOW AN ACCEPTABLE TERM. EVERY HOLIDAY, EVERY SPORTING EVENT, NOW HAS A MILITARY COMPONENT TO IT. WELCOME TO THE BRAVE NEW WORLD.
• NUMBER TEN: BIG BUSINESS AND BIG MONEY NOW RUN AMERICA. ELECTIONS ARE, FOR THE MOST PART, RIGGED AND SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. THE FLAME OF DEMOCRACY IS ABOUT OUT. 
• I COULD GO ON, BUT IT'S TOO DEPRESSING. WHY CLUTTER YOUR MIND WITH REALITY. THE FANTASY IS SO MUCH BETTER.
