    I navigate an unethical world, particularly at the corporate level - doing the right thing doesn't mean jack diddly. We could go on and on, but being ethically right has never benefitted me. Again, I refer mostly to work. And I am having a bad day which makes me a little crazy.

    Rosemary's baby.

    What movie had the best cinematography?

    I get it, but when you excuse yourself from being ethical, you can't blame others for being unethical. And if you think being ethical isn't beneficial, you shouldn't teach your kids to do the right thing and have a less beneficial life.

    Lawrence of Arabia

    Who are the three best looking women and three best looking men in movie history?

    I've got time for one each:

    Aishwarya Rai Bachchan of India
    Paul Newman

    What is your most prized peace of art or perhaps a rare edition?

    I'm not much of a collector. I have a signed re-print of William Gibson's Neuromancer and an original edition of Pynchon's Mason & Dixon. I'm not anticipating a house invasion for them.

    What is the most significant problem in the world today and what needs to be done about it.

    The most significant problem in the world today is attitude. Always remember those you push down may get back up and kick your fanny. Learn to live and let live

    What makes people think everyone except them needs to change?
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Narcissism and arrogance, which usually go hand to hand and are present within most people in the world.

    Why are people so un-accepting of those different than they and automatically assume they are the ones who are right?

    People have set values they cling to. This doesn't mean that they are always right. They can learn from mistakes. The trouble is, people don't want to allow compromise. They want complete agreement or they will hassle you. Tolerance is a two way street. If you expect it, give it.

    Why is it that people get a mad on about other people and no matter what that person does, it is never good enough to stop disliking them or what they believe?

    People don't always get mad; they forgive. They just hold out hope the people they like will relinquish the beliefs they don't.

    Why does every generation bemoan the music of their children's generation once they, themselves, start to get old?

    Everyone is only hip to their own jive, daddy

    @ Pompey Bum That's a disgusting question!

    What kind of job do you think you'd be an expert at?

    The one that I do, which is childcare, and if parenting is a job chalk that up because I already know I will be an expert parent. I also suspect I would be a very good teacher in a field I was passionate about and I think I could make it as some sort of political pundit; I like arguing.

    What types of jobs do you think you would be totally incompetent at carrying out?
    So with the courage of a clown, or a cur, or a kite jerkin tight at it's tether

    I would never make it as a Politician. The intense pressure to make competent dissensions while juggling all special interest groups while changing horses in mid-stream and trying to somehow please everybody would wear me out. Look at our Presidents over the years and how much even a four year term ages them. My mind couldn't deal with it.

    If you had your dream job, what would it be?

    Floaters are probably not what you are thinking, Pen. They're just little squiggly lines in your vision. Your mind though...yuck!

    My dream job would be a food taster for a king who ate nothing but coffee ice cream.

    Do you get visual migraines (aka "migraine aura")?
