    No. Let's not forget that the Almighty hath fixed his canon 'gainst self-slaughter.

    No. It should always be served with another piece.

    I'm going to answer your question with another question, would you require an engineering course in a poetry school?

    How often have you read a book your friends have never read?
    Of Gods & Dragons, my first novel.

    I have no friends.

    Considering the extent of robotic technology today, shouldn't manned space flights be considered unnecessary--even unethical?

    Alternate question: If an astronaut became totally intimidated by something in space, would that make it an unmanned flight?

    Question 1: No, it's human nature to explore.

    Question 2: hahahha, No, it would make it a real manned flight.


    I like Chuck's question: Should an engineering class be taught in poetry school?

    No. On reflexion, putting that many nerds in one place just can't be a good idea.

    Should breast feeding be allowed in public places?

    Yes, but women should use some covering to veil the baby-on-the-breast.

    Is self-censorship a good thing?

    If it's a matter of personal scruple, then yes, it's a good thing; but it's due to fear of "unofficial" social retribution from breaking an "unwritten rule," then no, that has the potential for some real problems.

    Does an athlete have a social obligation to serve in non-professional life as a role model for children? Does an elected official?

    No. They as a society we should put celebrity in perspective. These people did not get famous because they are good people.

    It would have been a Red Sox-Yankees game about 25 years ago.

    If one accepts the validity of the 3rd Commandment (Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD your God in vain), is there a moral difference between saying "God bless you" and "God damn you"?

    Yes. "God Bless You" isn't necessarily in vain.

    Bury him in the garden.

    If you dropped a pan of brownies on the floor would you still serve it to your coworkers?

    Wrong. "God" is not the Holy Name (just the Holy Job Description) and not the term being referenced in the Third Commandment. "God bless you" is a nice thing to say but "God damn you" is rude. That's all.

    No. I got 'em all years ago.
