Economics major, hmmm. What do you consider the most important thing in life? In other words, what is the meaning of life, or if you like, what is the chief end of man?

Also, just how OLD ARE you?

(I know the answers. This is a test to see if he'll be allowed to meet my daughter.)

I am frustrated here and losing patience. The electricity here is out. Again. For a long time.

This is a complicated question. I'd respond by saying education is the most important (not indoctrination..sorry ACLU). It is only through being educated that we can hope to pass on the greatest possible society to our future generations.

I perceive my greatest responsibility in giving more advantages to my children than were given to me. Make no mistake -- I never grew up wanting for anything. However, I'm the first in my immediate family to go to college, and my brother and sister have already begun to learn a great deal from my stumbles in the path to getting accepted to a prestigious (yet extremely liberal) university. My parents went through a rather bitter divorce -- I reflect on this as having learned better how to treat a lady. I competed in, and currently wear on my hands, three youth baseball world series rings. I was a year younger than everyone else on the team, yet still got my fair share of playing time, learning that with a lot of hard work, I could hang with just about anyone.

My goal in life is to someday give my children more than was ever given to me. In doing so, I think I can simultaneously make my greatest contributions to society.

Also, just how OLD ARE you?

I turn 20 on May 9.
