Four for Friday

October 27, 2006

Q1 - Image: Does it bother you that the rest of the world seems to hate the United States? Do you think the U.S. has to change its politics or simply do a more effective job at public relations?

I think the rest of the world is right to think our policies suck; they do suck. They are insane, mean-spirited, and against much of what America stands for. Public relations ain't gonna do it; we need to take a look at why we're doing the things we're doing in other people's backyards.

Q2 - Education: Which do you feel is the best environment for children's education, single sex or co-ed?

I think it's dependent on the kid. For most kids, though, they need to face the reality of adulthood in our culture, where men and women mix.

Q3 - Convenience: The 2007 Lexus LS has a feature that helps its driver parallel park or back the vehicle into a parking space. At the touch of a button, the 'Advanced Parking Guidance System' automatically parallel parks the LS or backs it into a parking space with just a little brake work by the driver. If this feature were available for your car, would you use it?

No. I rarely parallel park, I don't trust compuerized decision-making, and I'd hate to tell people I'm so lame I can't learn to park properly.

Q4 - Work: If you had to choose between working in sales or customer service, which would you choose?

Oh, totally NOT sales! I suck at selling things. I do, basically, customer service now, so that wouldn't be much of a change.
