Poll question: Worst 21st century phenomenon so far (political edition)

Boy is this going to be a tough one; so many swine, so little time. Obviously, the right answer is All of the Above; feel free to use the Reply function to register this choice. It's a boring poll when All of the Above wins with 90%.:)

Again, all of these predate the 21st century to some extent or another; kindly don't sweat it too much.

Edit: I replaced Other with the current 10th choice. Use replies to vote Other, too.

3. It's so hard to choose!

I'd have voted for "Freedom Fries", but it wasn't there. :)

4. Yummy freedom fries!

I did, however, add a new 10th choice that kind of represents what freedom fries do. (kinda sorta)

6. Clearly

Finishing the job of eliminating all that troublesome regulation (environmental, antitrust, FCC, etc, etc)

20+ years of kissing the middle class goodbye.

Was 1912 really all that great?

7. I thought it was the 19th century they were shooting for

if not the 13th.

On the bright side, at least Dickens novels will make more sense...

10. "I'd like more gruel, please." n/t
