The Antihubris.com's
Top Ten of the Top 10s
I. Cancer
(Generally)
What does it think it is killing so many people every
year, and why won't it die? Too many loved ones around the
world are lost every year from one form of cancer or
another. What's worse: EVERYTHING causes it! Maybe
EVERYTHING should be here at #1. But seriously, something
is wrong when organic food, air, MSG, and s*x all cause the
same thing: death by cancer. The treatments for cancer
should also sit up here at #1, they are almost as bad as
the disease.
Cancer's antihubris: the wonderful people
working at Hospice, the National Cancer Institute,
the American Cancer Society, and the
research done at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation.

II. "W"
Leading a nation forward from the largest national
surplus to the largest national deficit, severing ties
& burning bridges with all other nations of the world,
spying on citizens of the country he leads (Tricky Dick
Nixon only got caught spying on the ant-war hippy George
McGovern), leading a nation to war under false pretense,
the whole torture bit, we think he causes cancer...
"W"'s antihubris: himself when he speaks;
those who know you can be support the troops, be pro-peace,
and still be patriotic; the lady who sat at "W"'s ranch -
though her increased publicity is rapidly becoming
annoying; the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and Stephen
Colbert of, of course, The Colbert Report.

III. Asbestos &
Mesothelioma
First off, both of them are harder than hell to
pronounce. The US Senate wasted too much time on its bill
to create a federal trust fund to bail out the Corporations
that knew for 30+ years that exposure to asbestos caused
mesothelioma (a nasty form of cancer - see #1), and this
trust fund is going to be bankrupt long before those who
are still being exposed to asbestos (yes, the US still uses
this family friendly fiber), since the effects of asbestos
exposure usually don't become manifest for 30+ years.

Mesothelioma Resource Center, and the antihubris

V. West
Publications
How many lawyers will it take to say "antitrust?" As
helpfull as findlaw.com is, there has been suspicion that
West also causes cancer. Besides, as retro as it is, they
will never be as cool as The 'Lectric Law Library.
West's antihubris: a future antitrust
suit.
VII. William Shatner's
Character on the TV series "Boston Legal"
Everyone knows he's just a wannabe, copy-cat of the
universally beloved and feared, the Honorable Ralf R.
Rinkle Esq., head librarian at The 'Lectric Law Library,
which also happens to be Shatner's
antihubris.
V. The Ivy
League
When the most difficult part of the education is
admissions; and the entire student body comes from schools
where they were the top of the class, valedictorian, and
president of every campus club; and grades don't mean
anything since everyone is use to being the top of the
class - and you can't have a school with everyone at the
top of the class - wait... yes you can... because the
students bitch and complain until they get an A. What does
the Ivy League Education even mean except for contacts and
a fancy name on a sheep skin?
The Ivy League's antihubris: students who got into Ivy
League schools with the odds stacked against them, small
community oriented public and private schools, e.g.
St. John's College, and community
colleges.
VI. Microsoft
We can appriciate the little company that could
scenario, however, how many virus ridden PC's, windows
driven server crashes, and lack of style does it take for
either the company to close its software's loopholes, or
everyone move to unix/linux based computing, e.g. Mac,
FreeBSD, Red Hat.
Microsoft's antihubris: Apple (though Mac snobs should be on
the hubris list), FreeBSD, RedHat Linux, Apache, Open Office, Sun Microsystems, SourceFORGE, and the many other unix
/ linux / free systems, open source and cross platform
software, and open source projects.
