One of the more consistent idiosyncracies of Americans is their penchant for
ranking things.It is, on the whole, a harmless pastime, giving indoor pleasure
to many,and bestowing high status upon those called on to create and maintain
various rankings.it has also been known to boost sales of publications of one
sort or another and, like Sports Illustratesd's annual swimsuit issue, it
provides either agreeable diversion or a source for moral indignation during
an otherwise dull part of the year. One should not presume, however, that the
relationship betewwn such lists and reality is great. Nor is it necessary that
it be so.Their function, rather, is to gratify, amuse, employ, sell, or fuel
disagreement, hence the development of subsequent lists and rankings.

果然是......完蛋了XD
