Does a candidate's religion matter more than the issues?
It's my experience that those with the greatest faith in science could use more experience of creating it. I'm passionate about the scienntific paradigm, but it doesn't remove the need for morality.

what frightens you most?
I used to be afraid Id throw myself off tall things. So one day I did. Certainly cured that impulse.

Good thinking. I suggest we patent it.

I'm confused. I don't like the electoral college, but how does it link?

Uma Thurman used to be stunning.

Nuclear energy in the UK
Meh, I'm for solar and wind power. Craig, I don't mean to be rude, but the numbers simply don't add up. You can't produce enough energy, even if you plaster the country with windfarms and ring the coast.

At three hundred million a time that shouldn't be too bad. Sounds good to me, what with the international cooperation and all.

Britain at war
Films go where the money is. I don't begrudge the yanks their story. But I agree there's only so much you can say about it.

I'm not certain I'd want to equate Navy with Army bootcamp. In nay case when the hell are matelots going to encounter a situation they have any individual effect on?

i've actually had sleep paralysis. I woke up to discover myself immobilised with this huge black figure at the end of the bed. Fortunately I know that I was simply having sleep paralysis! I lay there until my control came back. Most interestingly I disocvered I was bathed in fear sweat. Obviously that aspect of things was whirring away independently.

Which bloody unit were you part of? The 101st Cannon Fodder Brigade?

I think that the way you had to get inside Durlag's story really forced you to appreciate it. *laughs* I was annoyed I couldn't recruit Yak man.

Again, if you have problems with following orders without question then you will find you make an awful private... and a first class NCO. As an officer yu willl find that although you have a right to unquestioning obedience, you cannot command properly by drawing on it all the time. Particularly as our societies alter. However, at the final analysis every good soldier needs to be capable of accepting their viewpoint can be inferior. Speaking personally I find it is a common negative sde-effect of modern commmercial society that we're told we're fantastic so often that we find it difficult to commit sucesfully to anything we aren't the focus of.

What I like about your plan is that all women go through that phase from 17-21 where they believe they ARE god anyway. So you have to treat them the same way irrespective.

Well... yes. OK it was awful. But it gave us the phrase "But it's the FLYING CAR!"
