If you could eat only 3 foods for the rest of your life, what would they be?
Submitted by formance.
Steak, bread and milk.
Books: Show us the longest book you've ever read. (All the way through.)
That's a tough one, because, I don't know how books stack up length wise. The Bible? Les Miserables? The Europe: A History book is huge, but I'm not actually done with it yet.
What's the oldest thing in your fridge?
I have some ketchup that's been in there at least two or three years.
Have you ever served on a jury? What was your experience?

It was an attempted murder. Naturally, drugs were involved. The defendant was mad at his dealer and went after him with a fish knife. The public defender in no way tried to prove he wasn't guilty and there were two eyewitnesses to the attack so that was smart, he was just trying to get the guy a lighter sentence (unpremeditated attempted murder) which was totally undermined by the judge telling us that being high is no excuse under the law. Made me never want to be in the position of being defended by a public defender. This being Idaho we were all for sending the guy up the river except this one older lady that was in tears because she kept personalizing the guy like he was her own kid. Eventually the 11 of us cowed her into voting him guilty. It was interesting to watch 12 people with nothing in common being forced to work together, vote for a leader and determine the guilt or innocence of this guy.
It's a scary amount of power we put in our citizens.
Why do you live where you live?
Submitted by memtony.
It's close to my work and I can afford it.
How often are you wrong? Do you find it difficult to admit it when you are?
Submitted by emily ann.
Fairly often.
At work, no. Not admitting mistakes at work is foolish.
In personal matters, I have more trouble with that. I prefer to sweep things under the rug.

Sometimes, if I'm feeling especially holy or writing to especially holy people I'll do a:

Do you consider yourself a patriotic person? Why or why not?
Yes. Because I live in the best darn country in the world, live under the most enlightened and sensible constitution in the world, and consider said constitution, the people, and the political thought that surrounds it to be the apex of human societal achievement and would argue vehemently with anyone that says otherwise. Also, look at all the cool stuff we make, or invent, and the scale on which we do it. It's mind-numbingly incredible.
