Don't we think in terms of, the five leading this and the five leading that? I sure notice this. Numbers speak power to us it seems.
There are five top cell phone carriers, five leading real estate companies, five major airlines, five major media companies, five leading indicators, five business days in the week, five school days for most school children, five influential leaders in a company, and it goes on and on.
I think, for the most part, in the technological era that we live in, we like numbers, statistics, polls, and are the simplicity of narrowing things down to the "top five."
There are five ways to do something. Five hurdles to cross, five steps in making a food dish. When will it stop.
I like "five" don't get me wrong, but we focus so much the "this or the that." We use a number to simplify, what is not so simple, or we use number instead of looking at the individuality, the uniqueness, the value of that leader, that company, that way of making a dish, and so forth.

Goverment does not solve problems everybody
Since when does government resolve issues that is healthy for society. I can't think of too many. Remember, government is by nature evil, and left by itself would destroy the harmony of individuals. Look at history, and you will see example after example of what evils government has committed, and the millions upon millions who have suffered as a result of that.
The wise crafters of the United States of America were educated, knowledgeable on history and current events, and designed a system, a Constitutional Republic to limit what government can do, and protect the peoples' natural rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Now, back in 1913, the United States Congress allowed a private entity, called the Federal Reserve, with its Internal Revenue Service, to control the money supply and to have the authority to print paper money (fiat money) at will. Wow, this is certainly not in the Consitution of the crafters of America, and this is also something the founding fathers feared. Money in the hands of a few.
Ever since 1913, the United States has been experiencing incredible ups and downs in the economy, the worst depression ever known, and now, an incredible debt due to the printing presses printing paper, to pump up society.
Before 1913, Americans were better off since they were using real money, gold and silver, which unlike paper, have value. Paper has little value in itself. All throughout history, people all around the world have used, and valued gold and silver as money. There were greater economic stability as a result and the free markets worked. The exceptions to this were those occasions that government interfered in the free market economies by imposing regulations, or inflating currently. Those were not happy times for the populace.
How can we as historically freedom loving Americans, allow a private entity, the Federal Reserve and IRS, rule over our financial lives. How can we allow the government, namely Congress, to sit back and allow the Fed control money. Congress created this right, and can take it away from the fed simply through legislation. Congress' job is to create laws, not create private institution to create laws. The laws created by the Fed restrict liberty, and the free market. Look at the income tax. Prior to 1913, Americans were allowed to take home their entire paycheck, and not give some of it up to a private entity, the IRS.
Now, we are so accustomed to giving up part of the money we earn, to the IRS, and who complains about this. Only freedom loving people such as Ron Paul, and others.
