Would You??

No, if you had the choice to live somewhere else I don't know why you would move to a place with toxic waste even if allegedly safe.

If you were only allowed to get married once and divorce was not an option would you marry the person you loved knowing that if in the future things didn't work out you would be stuck?

If those were the conditions, and if I were being entirely rational, love would be a necessary but not sufficient condition for marriage. A good financial future and the compatibility of our families (at least) would also be necessary.

Would you be roommates with someone who had done time for a felony?

Depends on the felony but probably.

Would you rather listen to an album of your choice by John Cale or John Cage?

I am going to go with John Cage

Would you rather live a long fulfilled life and die in old age but be completely forgotten after your death or die young but have your name immortalized in history?

Of course the long and fulfilled life.

Would you rob someone of their last morsel of food, causing them to starve, if in doing so you could save five others from starvation?

Nah, it wouldn't be a long term solution in any case. I'd just see if we could find some other way to get food. And if there wasn't we could always draw lots or someone could volunteer to kill himself to be eaten by the others.

Would killed a prisoner of was as a soldier, would you ever mention it to anyone--even a trusted family member?

Did I have good reason? I probably wouldn't talk about it, no.

Would you prefer to see all media (books, cd's, dvd's, etc) converted into digital files in order to save space and reduce some impact on the environment?

No, just to have some to talk with about it, maybe in old age. I think it helps some

No, I wouldn't want to see the paper go. I read mostly ebooks now, but that's just because I travel a lot. But libraries are still worth it. The environment is going to have to muddle through.

If an unattended toddler fell into a gorilla pit at the zoo, would you jump in and rescue him/her?

I'm more likely to cause the gorillas to freak out and kill us both, this has happened and sometimes the gorillas are relaxed enough to let it slide. Also zookeepers with tranquilizers are more likely to do a good job with the situation than I am. Raging river or something though, yeh I am probably jumping in.

Would you be a member of a resistance movement in a country occupied by Nazi Germany during WW2?

i have thought about things like that before and I actually think that'd be my best role, so yes.

if you had a chance to go back in time, would you take out hitler in some fashion? (ever see the star trek episode with joan Collins playing a woman named edith keeler?)

Yes, to plagiarize that movie about Kim Jong Un, I'd take him out for drinks. As far as messing with the butterfly effect goes, I dunno, probably yes. Postwar life wasn't all that great. And having no WWII would probably mean that there would still be a British Empire, something that MANICHAEAN would like. Okay, consider it done.

Would you rather have lived as a Nordic übermensch in Hitler's Germany or as a worker in Stalin's Russia?

German, at least I have a chance to come through the war and not live in total misery forever.

Would you rather have Mussolini or Stalin as a father in law (exact same personalities but they aren't dictators).

Oh tough choice. The food on holidays would have been better at Mussolini's but, in a really perverse way, there was something appealing about Stalin's psychotic bravado. Okay, Il Duce. Stalin would doubtlessly have had me killed after a few years, as I think he did to his real son-in-law.

Would you have advocated the imprisonment/execution of French collaborators who worked for Vichy?

I wouldn't, people try to get by during wartime, we don't need to be executing everyone who ended up on the wrong side after the fact.

Would you marry/date a woman who had been a gestapo agent? Assuming she is magically younger than she would be naturally and assuming you were single?

Only if she had had repudiated her past with genuine contrition. And still had the boots. Heh heh. Just kidding.

What about someone who was a sadistic concentration camp prison guard, but is an old beloved Grandpa when he is found out?
