An Eagle With the Head of a Bear

1.) What would be greater significance in America, a black male president of a female president? A female president. According to recent Gallup more Americans would rather vote for a black man than a woman.

2.) Name one good thing about Generation Y?
That's tough, I guess they dress decent.

3.) Name one bad thing about Generation Y?
They are apathetic and extremely apprehensive to get involved in something that might create change.

4.) If something were to be named after you, what would it be?
A monument in a park.

5.) If you could hang with any group of people, past or present, what group would that be? It has to be a group you didn't make up.
I think it might have to be British Romantic poets, especially Keats.

6.An out of control trolley is heading down a track toward five unsuspecting people and will surely kill them all. You and a man are on a bridge above the tracks. If you push the man on the bridge onto the tracks, you will save the five others. Do you do it?
Part of me says I'd let them die, but I think I'd throw myself off the bridge.

7.) "Rock and roll is dead,” he says, voluble again. “Rock and roll is a museum piece. It has no viability anymore. There are great rock bands today—I love the White Stripes, I love the Raconteurs. But it’s a museum piece. You’re watching the History Channel when you go to these clubs. They’re just reenacting an old sentiment. They’re channeling the ghosts of that era—the Who, punk rock, the Sex Pistols, whatever. It’s been done. The rebellion’s over" - Sufjan Stevens. Agree/Disagree?
-I think he's right. I don't think rock as a genre itself has evolved since "Loveless". Lots of new bands are creating a mixture between rock and other genres, which is great, but rock itself seems mainly referential these days.

8.) People in those old times had convictions; we moderns only have opinions. - Heinrich Heine. Agree/Disagree? That's basically my opinion about Generation Y, except he wrote that in 19th Century.

9.) You're making a grilled cheese, what kind of cheese do you use?
It has to be sharp cheddar, a nice aged one.

10.) Name one overrated movie.
"Clockwork Orange". It seems more misunderstood to be. It's beautifully shot and produced, but it seems to me like a criticism of contemporary, culture. I think everyone thinks it advocates contemporary culture. I story was a bit flat too.

11.) What animal best describes you?
It is not an eagle with the head of bear. I think it would be an owl, if owls were vegetarians.
