  • e-readers vs paper: How do you like to read?

    On paper and electronically.

    While I don’t have any real aversion to electronic handheld reading devices, I’m not going to buy a device that is dedicated to reading.

    There are plenty of e-book readers out there for laptops and other devices. I even have e-book reader software installed on my cell phone.

  • Are you getting an H1N1 vaccine?

    Nope. I'm not a part of the target population and I'm generally a healthy person, so I'll leave the vaccine for those who truly need it.

  • What do you think of Tiger Woods' recent marital issues?

    It's none of my business. These public floggings of celebrities violate the most basic rules of privacy. Leave the guy alone.

    While I do agree that when you’re in the public spotlight, you should expect this kind of inquiry from the public, I don’t personally agree with it.

    That is a personal matter, between a man and his wife and it has nothing to do with me.

    We don’t know the whole story, just what the media has shown us.

    I refuse to pass any kind of judgment on him, his wife or any of the alleged mistresses.

    I think there are all better things that we can do with our time than focus on the failure of a family that we’re not a part of.

  • How much are you spending on holiday gifts?

    Don't know yet, but definitely cutting back.

    I’ve definitely cut back in recent years on what I spend for friends and family and this year will be no exception.

    However, one thing that a group of friends and I have done is adopted families for Christmas through local charities.

    Times may be tight for me right now, but they’re even worse for others. I like being able to do my part to help those in need.

  • As a leader, I think Sarah Palin is ...

    ... a joke.

    She may be a nice person, she may be relatable, she may be a good mother, she may be easy on the eyes, but none of those things make her qualified to be the leader of the free world.

    In my opinion, she consistently put her foot in her mouth during the election and even since then.

    The problem is that I have no faith in the American public that they won’t actually elect her if she were to run for the office again.

    Just do a search on Sarah Palin quotes and then tell me again why she should be my next president?

  • Would you give up meat to help the planet?

    I'd be willing to eat less meat.

    This is definitely a tough one. I honestly don’t know if I could live a completely happy life if I didn’t have any meat at all in my diet. I could cut back on it though.

    One thing that I’d be willing to do is to pay a little bit more for meat and have the industry use that extra money to green up their processing facilities.

  • Should Larry Johnson have been suspended?

    They should've fired him.

    Ok, let’s all be honest here. If any of us tried to pull something like that at work, we would definitely be getting fired.

    It may be football, but at the end of the day it’s still a business.

    That’s his office and he should have enough common sense to know how to behave when he’s at his office. N

    ow the man is free to have his opinions, but you can’t make those kinds of statements in public. Keep it at home. It’s just unacceptable.

  • How have you made sacrifices at work?

    My company's eliminated some benefits.

    While the nature of my field (non-profit/public safety) doesn’t really lend itself to becoming a millionaire, it does offer great job security.

    I’ve been really fortunate where I am right now. We haven’t had any cuts, and only a slight decrease in benefits. Hopefully that remains true or gets better. Only time will tell.

  • What should happen to Balloon Boy?

    Nothing. He's just a kid.

    He was following the directions of his parents that love and provide for him.

    Unfortunately, they should also be setting a better example for him as well.

    I also feel like they should definitely be held financially responsible for all charges incurred due to their negligence.

  • Does Obama deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?

    No. Don’t get me wrong, I like the guy, but I think that this came a little too early in his career.

    He’s definitely made strides to make things better in the world, but I don’t know if that has made him Nobel prize-worthy yet. Only time will tell if he will truly live up to this honor.
