Top 5 Political Pet Peeves

Here are the top five things that piss me off the most in the world of politics right now.

5: Global Warming
This gets talked about alot, but nothing gets done. While the jury is still out rather the increase in global temperature is due to the Earth's natural climate cycle in conjuction with the Sun's energy output cycle just happening to coincide, or the so called "greenhouse effect", the fact remains that polution is a bad thing.

There are many frints to fight this on. Decrease polutant output from current sources, incrase in world vegitation to fight the build up of Carbon-Dioxide, or invest in alternative energy that is better for the environment. Any would help, all would be ideal.

4: Alternative Energy Sources
This relates closely to #5. We have had the ability to use Hydrogen as an energy source for some time now. And while technology that makes it safe for use everyday in cars has been awhile in coming, we've always had the capacity to make use of this energy source on larger scales. It is the cleanest burning thing on earth, as the only byproduct is water.

Research needs to continue for solar power. We have huge skyscrapers with lots of service area in every major city. I doubt solar power could replace all the electricity for those buildings, but it could be a nice help. The problem is, research companies need more money to find better efficency. Then it would be nice to see better incentives for companies to use these alternatives.

3: Talk of Impeachment
This is rediculous. By the time an impeachment can take place, the current administration will be out of office. All this would do now is eat up tax dollars and the time of our politicians that have better things to be doing. It's too late for this, drop it.

2: War in Iraq
Both sides need to concede on this. We can't just turn tail and leave the mess we've created, but we do need to find some sort of timeline that will get our troops out of there. I'm tired of the idiots on both sides that refuse to see both sides of the story.

1: Democrats vs. Republicans
Finally, my biggest pet peeve in politics is the ongoing Dem vs. Rep celebrity deathmatch. It's rediculous to watch anymore. I fully support having multiple opinions in discussions so we can make better educated decisions, but that isn't what the parties are about anymore. It's about making sure the other party looks bad, and is wrong, more than it's about trying to do the right thing and find what's best for our country. It sickens me to see this "he did it, no he did it" childish blame game that our nation seems to enjoy so much.
