1. If you could ask God one question, what would it be?
Why do allow so much pain and misery?

2. Do you have a middle name?
William, named after my fathers best friend.

3. Choose one moment in history that you would like to have personally witnessed...
VE day.

4. 3 things you should never do...

2. Slander the country of your birth
3. Support terrorism in any of its guises.

5. Describe the most peaceful moment of your life...
Lying on the shore of Loch Chon, on a fine, still, sunny day in the Trossachs. I closed my eyes and had no worries for a full 30 minutes of bliss. No human noise of any kind to disturb the peace. It could only be described as ethereal.

6. How would you describe "The American Dream"? Does it really exist? Did it exist in the past? Has it changed?
To be rich.
As long as people can still drag themselves from poverty to a better life it will exist.
It has always existed and has only changed in as much as it is now available to a wider demographic.

4. 3 things you should never do...
Go drinking with your friends at 11AM and go back home at 5PM, drunk, to a furious girlfriend who you told you'd be back at 10AM.

5. Describe the most peaceful moment of your life...
Sitting with my best friend on a jetty in summer, in norway at midnight, watching the sun circle around us with a lovely glow, just listening to the waves hitting against wood and talking about life.

6. How would you describe "The American Dream"? Does it really exist? Did it exist in the past? Has it changed?
I take Marx and Gramsci's view that the "American Dream" as it is now was created by the capitalist post WW2 government of America, in order to establish a dominant, pro-american hegemony in troubled times. Since then it has been challenged, and reinforced in various forms of media up till modern times. Now it's only really believed by dimwitted conservaties, while the liberals who dismiss it have such a skewed view on life that they're not right either.

That's pretty much how I view it too, at least the archetype White picket fence malarkey. There is a dream but it's a self-made dream and it's not an "American Dream" it's YOUR dream, it's the Comus Dream, the Pobody's Nerfect Dream, and so on and so forth.

Who do you pray to?

Marie, like every other girl born in the early 90's.

3. Choose one moment in history that you would like to have personally witnessed...
Oh hell. I'll just agree with nonsubmissivewife.

4. 3 things you should never do...
Fall asleep with the tv on, sync up the wizard of oz with the dark side of the moon, peak at your christmas presents.

5. Describe the most peaceful moment of your life...
Standing outside one night during winter. I was freezing my ass off but it was completely silent, like the world had stopped.

6. How would you describe "The American Dream"? Does it really exist? Did it exist in the past? Has it changed?
Manifest destiny, brother.
