This is week eighty-nine in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”
There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.
Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.
This week’s questions:
If you could have been on the United States Supreme Court for any single case in its history, which would you select?
I don’t know if any one is more important than the other but Bowers v. Hardwick was a joke of a decision and I would have liked to have been there to shut that one down immediately. (Confession: I totally just googled for some same sex supreme court cases and found a somewhat more obscure one with which I didn’t agree. Yeah. I know nothing about government or politics)
If you could physically strike one person from your past (that you didn’t), who would you hit, and where?
First of all, I think it’s sad that the question has to clarify “but didn’t” as if humans are such simpletons that we all just run around inflicting physical violence on people with whom we have a problem. Oh wait. We do. Pathetic human race. I don’t want to hit anyone.
If you could change one election result from the past so that the loser had won, which one would it be?
Interestingly enough, I would change the one where the actual winner somehow lost. Stupid electoral college. Al Gore should have been the president.
If you had to die from something other than old age, how would you prefer to go?
First of all, does anyone REALLY die of “old age.” It’s not as if you reach a certain age and are suddenly considered too old and must die. Your advanced age makes your immune system weaker and more prone to illness and what not, but you don’t actually die of “old age.” That’s just silly. Almost as silly as me choosing to die of being just way too awesome for the world to handle.
Those are my answers to this week’s questions. What are yours?
1: I can only do the same as you on this one.
2: The past is water under the bridge. I’m not going backwards. (That’s what I say, but who doesn’t think of the past?)
3: I’m exceeding familiar with many national elections. However, given the last set of Presidential choices, I would just assume to have re-elected Bill Clinton. I like the fact that he got some balance in the budget.
4: Good point. That said, I’d like to go in my sleep via heart attack. Quick and I won’t see it coming. Of course, I really have no explicit control over this…
