RANDOM QUESTIONS...
31. What was the name of your childhood blanket? It didn't have a name
32. Which single store would you choose to go on a shopping spree in? Dunno, I'm not much of a shopper
33. What do you do most often when you are bored? I'm rarely bored. Daydreaming is good fun.
34. What words or phrases do you overuse? 'Shits and giggles", "Exactly", too many others
35. Pet hates?
36. Best things?
37. Bedtime? 9:30-10 ish during the week, whenever on the weekend.
38. Most philosophical thought? Timor animum necat
39. If you could have a starring role in any TV show, which would you choose? My own cooking show, but I'd be wearing a Daft Punk helmet..
40. If you had three wishes, what would they be? That's a tough one. Material freedom, the ability to control my ageing as desired, about another 40 "social/emotional" IQ points.
41. What's your worst nightmare? Aphasia
42. Your most hated school subject? Before university? Gym. At univeristy? Other than some pretty loose guidelines I was able to make my own schedule, so I enjoyed pretty well everything. Physical chem and advanced organic were tough, but fascinating (especially the labs).
43. Which is more important, sex, love or friendship? ... moving on to the next question ...
44. What would be the first thing you would do to change the world? I'll expand on spork's reply: no more desire to partake in organized religion. Suppressing religions only makes them stronger, but proper education can kill them.
45. Do you watch Big Brother? I don't really watch TV. Just pre-recorded Simpsons/Futurama/IT crowd and occasionally some BSG.
46. What do you think of reality TV? The last nail in the coffin for TV, at least for me. And it really makes me lose confidence in modern humanity.
47. Which celeb would you most like to sleep with? Just sex? Not really my thing, but if someone was holding a gun to my head then probably Marisa Miller.
48. Are you a virgin? ...
49. How often do you surf the net? How often do I not?
50. What are four unusual facts about yourself that most people don't know? I spent a year at Lutheran seminary before coming out as an atheist (although still not to my parents ); I'm a pretty good cook, but my sense of smell is far less sensitive than most people's; I'm deeply opposed to the idea of having kids, but love children and secretly think that I'd be a pretty good father; I had plans in my early 20s to found and promote a nihilist/protest political party on the national level-- it got as far as getting the application to form a new party, but when I saw how much it would cost if I didn't get the minimum number of votes to stay 'official', I abandoned the plan.
[soapbox]
As such, I still hold that representational democracy is deeply flawed as a system of governance if the goal is to have 'the people' determine policy. If the goal is to have a ruling elite determine policy, then it is an excellent system as it fosters apathy and the belief that people are in control, when in fact they are simply choosing one member of the elite over another.
