Hey, Max. I will answer this, but I just want to make a note first. The wording of number 7 is loading the question in an undesirable way. I will have to answer yes, but I'm not sure I actually SUPPORT it. I would rather say that I don't support legislating it out of the picture. Anyway:
1: Yes.
2: As much as most lay-people. I have read a great deal about it.
3: 36
4: High School. I had learned everything, so college seemed superflous. Plus I was in a Rock and Roll band.
5: Political Gnosticism.
6: Yes. 9 and 5 years old.
7: See above.
8: Yes.
9: Yes.
Yet another note. When each of our children were born, we tried to donate umbilical cord blood, as the stem cells contained therein can be used to help leukemia, and lymphoma patients, and were told by our hospital that they had no freaking idea what we were talking about. It's kind of a shame. I have read more about it in the ensuing years, and the process seems pretty simple and staightforward. I still wish the that we could have done it.
