Why dont you just "nofollow" the links? Everyone should be happy

Wouldn't that break the whole point of links and page rank? I link to things I genuinely like or find useful. The only things I nofollow are things I bitch about, because I am petty and don't want to give them any google juice. Other than that, a link is an endorsement, and if Google doesn't like me "liking too many things", that's Google's problem for not understanding websites that are the work of love.

I "nofollow" the links. Also that is additional work and unnecessary burden for webmasters.
