Compliments of my favorite partner in crime of the literary kind, Verian....
1. If you had the opportunity to stop the assassination/early death of 1 person from history for the benefit of all mankind, who would it be and why?
Can't imagine that one person would make such a difference, and most of my choices range from sheer curiousity as to how it would have all played out to just a feeling that the world would have been a little better for their presence...here's a few:
Abraham Lincoln because he had more to accomplish.
Empress Elisabeth of Austria because had she lived history may have been very different.
Martin Luther King, Jr. because things may have really turned out differently with him here.
Steven Biko for the same reason above.
Salvador Allende because that was just so fucking wrong.
JFK, Jr. because it would have been interesting to see if Camelot could have been "reborn" in the 21st century.
2. You take part in a chain photography event and are allowed to take one picture that best illustrates where and how you live before sending the camera on to the next person - what picture would you take and why?
I would take a photo of mysef and my kids on the banks of the Guadalupe River. I can't imagine anything else that would show more clearly who I am and what I'm connected to.
3. The country in which you live is about to be wiped out by a nuclear attack. You have your finger on the button that will launch a counter strike wiping out your attackers, would you press the button?
No way. No use in fighting if you have no chance to win...In that situation, I'd prefer to minimize the number of "losers" overall.
4. Your neighbor tells you that he knows the whereabouts of a convicted and self-confessed pedophile who is on the run from the Police. He has teamed up with other locals and the unruly mob is on it's way, toting petrol cans and torches, to burn the pedophile alive. Do you join the mob, do nothing or phone the Police?
I would definitely call the police.
5. You have died and are moving along a road when you come to a junction, a left turn will lead you to truth, peace and enlightenment, a right turn will lead to you having a bloody fantastic time. Which way are you going to turn?
Peace & enlightenment are my idea of a bloody fantastic time. I'm going left. : )
6. If you where able to erase one thing from your past and still be able to end up where you are now (should you wish to) what would it be and why?
I would erase the years I barely had any relationship with my parents.
7. Tomorrow is the end of the world. You have only twenty four hours left. How would you fill those hours?
Doing everything I could to make my kids happy and peaceful.
8. You accidentally discover that you have the ability to become invisible at will. How would you use this ability?
Hell yeah!!!!!!! I'd be an invisible crime fighter, baby. Oh, yeah...and I'd go around giving Depo Provera shots to junkies...and I'd spend a lot of time scaring the shit out of certain people...and I'd give people decent haircuts while they slept...and I'd slap George W. right across the puss at least once a week just to make myself feel better.
9. You are in a swimming pool and desperately need to pee. Do you swim over to somebody and pee near them so as to 'muddy the waters' as to who it was when the blue dye appears?
Blue dye when you pee??? Never heard of it. That said I'd probably be blissfully relieving myself, leaving a trail of blue dye. Hey, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go.
10. Your teenage child confesses to you that they killed someone in a hit-and-run accident. You have the ability to create the perfect airtight alibi for them. Would you do it?
Nope. That would be hard, but I know that there is a freedom in accepting responsibility for our actions. I wouldn't ever want my child to live with the guilt and shame of not doing the right thing. I think that would be a worse betrayal than not saving his ass with an alibi.
