Four for Friday

Q1 - Child Support: If a parent who is responsible for paying court-ordered child support fails to pay his or her due, do you think that the parent in question should be prohibited from seeing their child?

No. I think the parent should have his/her wages garnisheed. Don't punish the kid(s) for the stupidity of the parent, because kids think everything revolves around them.

Q2 - Company Policy: Motivated by the fear of harassment claims, many companies now prohibit men and women from meeting one-on-one inside of offices or conference rooms that do not have a window to an outside hallway or area where others can see into the room. What do you think about that? Good move because it protects everyone involved, or an unwarranted overreaction driven by nothing more than overreaching morals and fear?

Great, except...what about single-sex harassment?? Please. This is totally overreaction. Don't get me started on personal responsibility....

Q3 - Annoyances:Which bothers you more: a slow Internet connection or a dropped cell phone call?

Different annoyance reactions: the internet connection thing is more of a long, slow boil that can be managed, while the dropped call tends (for me anyway, since I don't use my cell that often) to be more urgent and therefore causes immediate freaking out. :-)

Q4 - Travel: Butch Cassidy, the last of the great western train-robbers, was born 141 years ago today. If time weren't an issue, how would you choose to travel from one coast to another: by train, air, auto, RV, motorcycle, bicycle, horseback, or thumb?

RV. But I might drag along a motorcycle on a trailer, or at least a car of some kind in order to do some exploring when the mood hit me.
