1. What Are Your Favorite Viral Videos?
I like videos, but viral ones generally are more for teenagers, I think. I found out my 50 year old nephew was watching the same creator I do. Is that viral?
2. Should a College Education be Free?
We can safely blame our politicians for how ridiculously expensive college/university education is. Republicans don't want to pay for health care, Democrats think businesses/employers should pay for it all, and guess what colleges and universities got classified as. Instead of offering group rate insurance to everyone like they did back in the day, now they have to buy it for everyone. So student loans are paying for health insurance for janitors and football coaches.
3. When Did You Last Have a Great Conversation?
Best one lately? On Zoom with a friend late last month.
4. How Do You Feel About Valentine’s Day?
It's a great time for little kids to expect candy. If you are young and in love it's a fine time to show your appreciation for your significant other. If none of those apply to you, it's just another day.
5. Is Shakespeare Too Hard?
My problem with Shakespeare is that the modern British stage accent and Shakespeare don't actually work together that well. It can take me a few scenes before I can understand anything that's being said. Then it get's better. A few years ago a company was performing Shakespeare in what they believed is the original accent. It was so much more understandable from the opening curtain, that it felt like a fog had lifted. It might be the opposite for someone from the UK these days.( Read more... )
