cos programs will get upset when you do this, it also means that you have effectively made yourself root which is bad bad bad
open up Disk Utility and repair your permissions, that should fix your problem

If you are root than it is possible for you to erase files required by the system. In addition, this causes some security problems to arise and you will be vulnerable to others online.
The only disk i own is an external firewire because there is no system on it. Otherwise I only become root to erase specific things i have knowledge of.
