1. You must either live in a major american city and work at a desk job that pays well enough to provide you with a constant standard of living, OR you must live in the country with no guarantee of any standard of living. Where are you having lunch and why?

You caught me while I was reading Adbusters, so I'd like to say I was sitting on the porch, but the truth is, I'd be at my desk.

2. You invent something that revolutionizes life on Earth as we know it. Because of a corporate situation, you can either get credit for doing it or the royalties. Which do you choose?

The royalties. Recognition is not worth a whole lot, really. I know I did it, and that's the important part.

3. You are given a television that receives every station from every country around the world. You must watch 90 minutes of programming every night for the rest of your life, or never watch television again. What do you pick? How come?

I could learn a lot from watching TV, but even if all those hours were fulfilling (which is unlikely) it would leave me little time to take advantage of what I learned.

4. Who would you want to write a song about your life story?

Johnny Cash

5. What's your favorite summertime treat?

Lying on the thick, cool grass, watching the stars light up. ;-)

thought for the day

In ancient China, the village doctor would visit evey once in a while to ensure everyone was healthy. He would then recieve a litle something from each family. If you weren't healthy, he lost face and you couldn't tend to your business and therefore woudn't have much to give him.

We have reversed this sane approach. Today, the sicker you are, and the greater the number of those who are ill, the richer the doctor becomes, and his standing in the communitity goes higher. He has no incentive to keep you healthy, other than his conscience. Which reminds me: why do doctors play a lot of golf? They deserve it.
