I have just written a guest post for Jason Clark's site on why I am sick and tired of being sick and tired (you might guess i've been ill this week!:)
As part of my post I speculate on what the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse might be for us 21st century western types. Traditionally based on the desription of the riders in revelation chapter 6, they are known as war, pestilene, famine and death.
My own take on rechristening these fab foursome was: sick; tired; stressed and busy.
I'd be interested in hearing if you have your hobby horse candidates to go riding on into town with this possy..?
fear
consumerism
depression

Maybe I'd put in there:
Boredom
Endless Self Expression
Commitment
