This morning, I blog-surfed as usual. One of my first stops is generally One Plus Two, as it is for many of us. In her current post, she answered five questions posed by another blogger and in turn offered to send five questions to anyone who would like to have them.
Sometimes it is dangerous to open up that comment box but I did and immediately offered to answer five questions. I'm always interested what others might find of interest or curious.
These are the five questions I got, with answers:
1. You've just been elected president of the USA. What is the first decision you make?
Well, the likelihood of my being elected to anything, especially president of the US, is rather remote but presuming revolution... :)
The first thing I would do is implement a plan I believe would solve the majority of social issues in the long term. For that reason, I would immediately establish two ministries: the Ministry of Economics and the Ministry of Culture and Family. I would appoint King Bhumibol Adulyadej as the Minister of Economics. He would have complete autonomy in establishing his self-suffiency economy model.
2. What is your favorite meal, from appetizer to dessert?
I am actually a rather simple eater. My favorite meal would be sa-tay chicken, jasmine rice and some deep fried vegetables with peanut sauce. Dessert would be mango. Finish it all off with a cup of chestnut tea.
3. If you could make a movie about any one topic, what would it be, and why?
It would be my vision of how a society would work in the ideal. That must mean it would be utopian science fiction. :)
4. If you could eradicate one social ill in the blink of an eye, what would it be?
Worker exploitation. It would simply end. Working people would be respected for what they produce, would be paid fairly, would have medical insurance and safe working conditions. There would be no such thing as "the working poor". All labor would be valued equally. It would be illegal to live off the labor of others which would mean a fundamental change in the inheritance laws.
5. What is your worst memory from your junior high school years?
The entire thing is a horrible memory. By that age, I was intellectually developed enough to observe group dynamics with some detachment. On the other hand, what I saw and watched broke my heart. Since I lacked the emotional maturity to process it, I wondered (at that age) how I'd ended up in hell.

Thanks for the questions, Jen. :) I would like to extend the invitation. Anyone who would like five questions from me (guaranteed to be weird and offbeat), please leave a message in the comments box with an email address or let me know I can access it on your blog/profile.
Peace,
