From the home office in a bus station in Alabama, we bring you this week's questions:
1. When is the last time you rode the bus? A few months ago. Normally, I'm a public transportation fanatic, but my current job is unreachable by bus (or train, for that matter.)
2. Describe the last time you stood up for a cause: Constantly! Even if its just debate/arguing on the net, I'm a passionate supporter of gay rights, abortion rights, and a staunch defender of the 2nd Amendment. (now there's a combination you don't see that often.)
3. Have you visited Alabama? Many times. Mainly Phenix City, since I was stationed right across the Chattahoochee River at Fort Benning. But I also made it to Montgomery and Selma.
4. Have you ever attended a rally? Several. Mostly for gay rights and pro-choice causes.
5. Have you ever been arrested? Nope.

They're all issues of keeping the government out of citizens' private lives. You'd think there'd be more common cause found amongst the various one-issue advocates, but it isn't happening. Too bad, isn't it, that the evangelical Fundamentalists seem to have a unifying cause when the rational rest of us can't manage to find one so obvious?
