Greed is the only one that is both well-defined and a real vice IMO. It is what causes wars.
Hate is in the eye of the beholder. I'm not really sure what hate is actually. About 90% of what people call hate I see as either self-defense or a conflict in values.
Jealousy is a positive thing IMO. It keeps you on your toes, alive and vibrant.
Ego in most cases is just something that gets in the way. It is the reason most people play poker and post in sports forums. I've made plenty a good bet because of someone else's ego so I'm not about to start complaining about it.
Political agendas are just the tools of the trade. Greed is the underlying force while the agendas are just the manifestations of it. Go for the root cause and just accept the agendas as a natural consequence I would say.

FEAR is the underlying root for all of the listed choices.
FEAR is the opposite of Love.
FEAR of not having ones needs taken care of creates Greed.
FEAR of other people creates Hate
FEAR of other people having something you desire for yourself creates Jealousy
FEAR of not being noticed by others creates inappropriate use of the Ego.
When one says no to FEAR, it is impossible - for that moment - to experience negative thinking.

General,
Great poll, I think Barman's concept needs to be added.I've always thought "Greed and Fear"are the 2 driving factors in business concepts/daily life....
I think you missed 1 other though, RELIGION,as big as all combined...
I'm almost finished with my book, title is, "The Level of Greed", a lot will have to do with 9/11.
Every, and I mean every dollar, whether it's Euro,Peso,Bolivar,Swiss Frank crosses Wall Street, and the Wall Streeters have been robbing for years.they have this "new" concept that it's okay to fuk "us" the GP, and the mutual funds, doesn't matter...they steal every penny they can,and call it business.To make a long story short, where do they learn these concepts...
They learn them at OUR business schools, the elite of the elite...
These are the top level guys from Enron, Tyco, etc...
i.e.
"Where did most of them go to these "Higher Credited Universities".??
1)Wharton, thats the Biz school of U.Penn
Some of our finest have gone there, from Trump to Bob Brennan ( if you don't know who Bob Brennan is,do a search,owned a huge securities company,1st Jersey securities,and the racetrack in Cherry Hill,small stock specialist, all frauds...he's doing time as we speak
Don't ask about Trump, scumbag
2) Darden, thats the Biz school of U.Virginia
3) Harvard Biz school, they teach you to rob, and can help you out with an attorney if you get caught robbing,as they have the <best> law school also
What they teach them is not only how to win, but also, how to CHEAT if losing
They teach "newer" accounting practices, so anytime our company is in trouble, add a zero here, add a zero there..fuk the public...
Look at Jeff Skilling's resume
http://money.cnn.com/2004/02/19/news/companies/skilling/
I'm not sure which 1 of these guys conspired,there's a lot of them, I do know that 1 of these clowns is building a $10 million dollar house in Fla while awaiting sentencing..
So even if/when he does some time, the IRS can't take your "primary residence"..nice law
None of these guys have respect for the law...they call it legal,because their attorneys say it is, but is it moral...
Can anyone of these people look in the mirror in the morning..?/
Socialism is DEFINITELY NOT the way, but this is an extremity...the Level of Greed is astronomical
-----------------------------------
Heres the reason way I have to add religion to the polls
I'm an Irish guy,American 1st though...
not an Irish Protestant or an Irish Catholic..
That was ( hopefully over ), the stupidest thing I've ever seen....you CAN NOT, I repeat, CAN NOT win a religious war...I've met a few of the hard-liners, think its' over, they had to get over the fact that they lost a brother,and to agree to disagree on a lot of things...Is there still hatred, YES, but they know if they kill the next Protestant, then they may lose a sister....stupid,isn't it
Thats the same with the Jews in Israel
=====================
I operate my daily business and have a lot of partnerships/co-ops with Jewish people, my best friends are Jewish...
Most of them aren't Temple people ( per se )..
Most are smarter,whether college or street educated people, they work hard to provide for their families,they wake up on time, show up on time for meetings,they are in general,the best partners when conducting business..also, for the most part, I would say, that most are very fair in negotiations...
So, you can assume I like Jewish people in general..
The Jews, however, have a problem, and it's the same problem, the "Level of Greed"...
It can not be a religion, a country and a way of living combined.Most of what they teach in their temples, the rest of us aren't supposed to know...
They do "ATTACK" the ecomony....Thats their game...When you hear Rabbi Stein say, "Herbie" you buy your goods from Hymie,and Hymie,you buy your goods from Herbie, is that supposed to be okay in our society...if we all did this, it would be the Italians buying from other Italians and the Irish buying from other Irish,and last I looked,we are all Americans.....
Point is, we know your game, we just prefer not to play it, but if you insist....we will, and ON A MUCH BROADER SCHEDULE
...
------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER....
I'm just the messenger......for any of you Jewish/Israelis people
Call me the Nazi if it may, but I'm not, I'm on your side...but here's what I hear being that I'ved lived in multiple countries/continents
You strangled the economy back then, so you got persecuted.....
So what do you do now....
You try to strangle the economy again....
Any QUESTIONS...??
For me, I'm going to hide out a few of my best Jewish friends so they don't get crucified...
For the rest of your congregation....GL
