Erm,...maybe we're not suppose to know the answers to the REALLY BIG QUESTIONS...well, at least not now anyway. if you ever see an Andrei Tarkovsky film you'll understand. Maybe the answers are just too much and they would drive us insane just knowing just like that episode of the Twilight Zone. Long live ambiguity!

Who is your hero and why?

my hero is isaac asimov because he believed that mankind could eventually live in harmony with nature and itself through the exercise of logic and the action of not taking from the world more than was needed.

I don't think I have any heros per se.....however, off the top of my head I am a huge admirer of Alexander Hamilton

I tend to dig people who despite great odds do extraordinary, humanitarian things with little or no support like Marla Ruzicka. I also admire Andrei Tarkovsky for creating art, and deep spiritual movies despite an oppresive film system in communist Russia. I also admire Chuck Yeager, Ted Williams, Thomas a' Becket, and Che Guevara.

especially not in this heat; they'll just go stand under the air conditioning vent.

in fact, the only two groups of people who work in america anymore are white people, and mexicans.

hell, they ("they" in this case being the govt., i gather, but i'm unclear on exactly what govt.

What's your cell phone plan?

by JH in

how much do you pay a month for your cell phone service and how long can you talk?.

i have a motorola 120c model phone, and with bell mobility, i pay 25$ canadian for a card that lasts up to 2 months or 30 cents per local call a minute or something like 70 cents a long distance call per minute.

so, if the card is good for 25$, and i make only local phone calls, i can use it 83 minutesand for long distance phone calls, at 70 cents a minute, i can talk only 35 minutes.. it's only for emergencies...

First it was AT&T, then T-Mobile..now Sprint

VERIZON (in our area at least)....will rip you off. Bruce has them. T hey have the VERY WORST rate plans, their connections drop ALL THE TIME, they provide the worst customer service this side of Pitney-Bowes, and they'll bill ya 'til they kill ya, with two-year contract extenisions whenever you want to add minutes. extra lines on verizon cost $20/month a pop, twice as much as Sprint (and sprint cuts you a free extra line gratis)..

spread the word kids.
