You Asked Jimmy!

Thanks to Jimmy for asking these! And if anyone else would like to chime in with questions, please feel free to!

1. If you had to pick a celebrity to look exactly like, who would you choose, and why?

There are so many beautiful women out there it's really hard to say lol This answer depends entirely on my current mood, if you asked me this tomorrow the answer would be different I swear lol Right now I'm going to say Nicole Kidman, back when she wasn't soooo rail thin. She's always been skinny but way back when she did movies like Dead Calm and Practical Magic, I thought she was SO beautiful in those movies. Those bright blue eyes, and beautiful hair, and that pure porcelain skin.

2. A Genie promises to grant you a wish on behalf of someone else. If you were to make the wish for Will, what do you think he'd want?

A job making good money in a field he loved. Probably something political, like political commentary, maybe government work. I know that having a good job is very important to him and would make him feel a lot better about his life. And I certainly don't want him to have a job in a field he doesn't get excited about working in.

3. You have to choose one of the following:
a. absolute national safety at the cost of some civil rights
b. absolute civil freedom at the cost of national security.

This... Is extremely tricky. Kind of the high wire act we're pulling right now isn't it? I'm going to have to ride the fence a little here because I don't think either could work. I think, at current moment, I'd have to go with A. Depending entirely on the extent at which civil rights are taken, and assuming we're talking about international policies, issues with civilian privacy, etc. In other words, defence against terrorist activity. I think that when you get to the level of threat the US is at now, we have to sacrifice some, to save a lot. And it's a very very thin line between protecting our country, and turning our once free country, into a more communist nation. It's something to be approached at with extreme caution, things like this are such slippery slopes. I'm sure that a lot of people won't understand my answer to this, won't be able to see my point of view; But when I know the extent of extremist Muslim support that goes on in the Twin Cities, the wonderfully well hidden facts, I get to the point where I'm quite thankful I have to take off my shoes in an airport.

I love reading words that are the product of well thought-out ideas. Thinking is good, and I knew you'd be one of those people who'd give great answers!
