• Most people prefer to make their life suck less compared to yours than to make the world not suck in general.
• If ordinary things didn't suck, you wouldn't feel compelled to work your ass off to buy the special "reduced suck" version.
• We're used to things sucking, and so we spend all of our effort trying to figure out which one sucks less, or to convince people that our wares suck less. Time that could be better spent making things not suck.
• Some people are in a position where they can consume things that don't suck while they don't need to produce much, or they can just produce sucky things.
• Some groups of people think they can just go out and grab whatever doesn't suck by force, which makes life suck for everyone else.

As for things that don't suck: Friends in general. Your friends. My friends. The sun (Sol, the star!). Mark Thomas. Noam Chomsky. Tuppy Owens. Laurie Andreson. Mary. The internet. Boradband. Good porn (it should do more). Olive oil. Espresso. Backrubs. Light-hearted sex. Condoms (especially HT or Durex strong). Lube. Most perverts I've met don't suck :-) The sea, between 36N and 36S. Hard disks. Japanese and French trains. Japanese and French food. Exercise. Bicycles. Compressed music. Google. More businesses that don't suck (see end) (http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=pavlos&itemid=26509).
