Also, on erasure: I wouldn't want to choose a political figure, even someone like Hitler, partly because I believe movements are too closely identified with their leaders, but also because the unintended consequences would be significant. Likewise I wouldn't want to choose a terrorist or a mass murderer because for the most part those crimes are either closely identified with a larger movement, or have given us better insight into diseases that strike more than one person. Assassins are good choices, and among assassins I think you need to select clear lone gunmen rather than men (such as JFK, RFK, and King's killers) who rest at the center of large conspiracy theories. Not just because the conspiracy, if it was real, can select another figurehead, but because so much social change rests on the deaths of those figures

1. what is your earliest memory and is it random or significant (and if significant, why)? 2. describe the perfect woman for you. 3. what post on any blog or forum are you most proud of and why? 4. you just inherited 100 million dollars, what type of changes do you make to your lifestyle? 5. so, what do you think?
1. you are a burgeoning rap star, what alter ego do you adopt so as to have the perfect 2-faces-of-rap 2. why tomb of horrors? for love of god, why tomb of horrors?! 3. (this might have been asked before, I can't remember) assuming you have all the training and would be successful at anything you attempt, how would you prefer to make a living? 4. what, other than physical pain, makes you cry and what was the last thing that did it? 5. are we ever going to hang out again, or should I start sending cronies to social gatherings you attend to give you the stinkeye from across the room?
