Just for kicks: Things I Don't Believe In ctd.

nuclear power

living together pre-marriage

mean men

pantyhose

sweaters with faces on them (read santa clause, reindeer, etc.)

deficit spending

this crazy, crazy idea that opening up that one last tiny piece of Alaska will somehow save us from foreign oil dependence (really-- look at a map.)

being bad at your job

vegetarianism

lunching with co-workers you don't really like

annual letters about how great your family is (oh, mom and i had so much fun with this one. we'd compose them in the car. this year, dad moved four times, the septic tank erupted into the library, alexe got two speeding tickets and went to three driving schools, eliza began bathing regularily, and oh, our dog died.)

negativity :)

cheerio children.

Children that turn public schools into a failing obedience class.

Disrespectful people.

Unrespectable people.

Being a 'homeowner', when a chinese investor likely owns at least 80% of that home.
