e-readers vs paper: How do you like to read?
The old-fashioned way - on paper.
My favorite method of relaxation is reading a good book in a hot bath, and the idea of taking one of those digital readers to the tub seems pretty dangerous.
Plus I like to share good books with friends and e-books make that nearly impossible.

Are you getting an H1N1 vaccine?
Nope. I never get flu shots. My method for good health is staying as far away from profit driven modern medicine as possible.
As it's currently set up, the sicker you are, the more $ they make. How can that possibly be a good idea?

What do you think of Tiger Woods' recent marital issues?
If you make your money as a public person, you should expect scrutiny when you screw up.
I feel bad for Tiger. This whole situation sucks, even if it's of his own making.
At the same time, he had to know better. All I can think is what was he thinking? Apparently he wasn't.

How much are you spending on holiday gifts?
Less than $100.
I make my own gifts (cookies, notepads, knitting) except for my husband. I learned long ago 'thought that count' gifts don't work for him.
Overall, I hate how commercialized and materialized the holidays are. Peace on Earth, Peeps!

Should KU fire Mark Mangino?
Maybe. Depends on the outcome of the athletic department's investigation.
I don't know (or care) about this enough to have much of an opinion.

As a leader, I think Sarah Palin is ...
... just what the Republican party needs.
She continues their marginalization into a negative, closed minded, small tent organization that will keep losing moderate voters that decide elections.
I hope she's the Republican candidate in 2012. Can you imagine her and O at the debates?

Would you give up meat to help the planet?
I'd be willing to eat less meat.
I only eat meat roughly once a week now, not for ecological reasons (although I understand and realize the impact), but because in general I find meat production to be disgusting.
I've given up chicken completely because of how they were raised and killed and I would probably give up meat completely if I didn't love bacon so much.

Should Larry Johnson have been suspended?
Who cares? The Chiefs suck with or without him.
I've never liked Larry Johnson. The spitting on a woman incident made me think he's not a very nice person, and definitely not a role model for our youth or a good representative for our city.
It's funny - people talk trash on public websites like Twitter then whine about the fallout.
If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all, particularly if you are famous! DUH!

How have you made sacrifices at work?
My company's eliminated some benefits.
I'm lucky because I work in higher ed and the poor economy has actually improved our enrollment.
However we have seen a drop in state funding, so there has been a real effort organization-wide to be more frugal.
I think it's a good thing, though. Doing more with less is a good goal for everyone.

What should happen to Balloon Boy?
Nothing. He's just a kid.
I don't understand why I'm supposed to care about this. The media loves silly stories like these because they are easier to report on than topics that actually matter (war, poverty, inequality, etc).
