Society for Aesthetic Deletions

1. If, by sacrificing your life, you could contribute so much to the world that you would be honored in all nations ... (a) would you be willing to do so? (b) would you be willing to do so if someone else you thoroughly despise would get all the credit while you went unrecognized?
I'm assuming that by "contribute so much" I'm doing something like curing cancer or somesuch. Honor's not that important to me, so I'd do it in both cases. I'd know I did a job well done, who cares if someone knows?

I work in tech support. Often I'm thanked for doing things that were of no real import (like recreating someone's deleted calendar). And I'm not thanked for doing thing that take me hours of my own time. (no Kate, this does not refer to YOU...you thank and appreciate me all the time!)

So honor and glory don't mean a lot to me.

2. You discover, unexpectedly, that a former friend (who you no longer like) has given your name as a character reference for a job application. The ex-friend is qualified for the job, but do you give them an honest thumbs-up?
Yes, I would. I can't say that I wouldn't drop hints about whatever issue caused our friendship to break up (if I thought it was his/her fault, and not my own), but if it was a job they could do, I'd tell them that they could.

I would not hesitate to mention flaws in the ex-friend's personality if asked, though.

3. If you could write a sequel to any movie you wanted, what movie would it be?
This is a tough question. Most of the movies I've seen that I can think to sequalize already have sequels.

I think, in the interest of answering this today, I'm going to have to go with my first answer. The Last Starfighter. Just imagine what we can do to that movie with the technology today. Though we'd be without Robert Preston. *sniff*
