Yes, you may find some of them on Youtube (but I don't think they are representative of my skills).

Jag vet ärligt talat inte. Detta känns som att detta är bortom min expertis. Och jag är inte tillräckligt intresserad för att bilda mig en uppfattning.

I am bad with names, but I think my favorite is "the bad cop". I think his name is Shane. I like him because he's very passionate, a straight shooter, down to earth, man of action, etc. At first, a lot of things he does may seem stupid, but I think they make more and more sense, for each episode I see.

I don't remember. And even if I did, I wouldn't reveal it here.

Yes!

No.

Tough question. If you force my hand I say: "Stone in Love" with Journey.

I suppose there are many lectures that you could classify as "compatible" with Objectivism, in the sense they tell you something true. But I can't think of any particular lecture right now.

If you by "modern art" mean nonobjective art, then my opinion is that it isn't even art. Therefore, it can't even qualify as bad art.

Yes, I have read his Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics. I think I am fairly familiar with its content. What should you be aware of when you read it? I don't know. I can't think of anything you "should" be aware of while reading it. I think it is a great book on economics. Whatever flaws it may have, I am sure you will notice it on your own.

I have not seen it and consequently have no opinion of it.

Charlotte,

It is true. In some places, they have a fee if it isn't deemed an emergency. So, it depends on where in Sweden you live.

I don't know, but I think she is quite popular. The translations of her books have sold quite well, I've been told. I don't know if they're in their second or third printing right now.

Good question. I don't watch that much TV. If you don't mind a lot of gore and horror, then you might enjoy The Walking Dead. I *love* that show, but then again I am a big fan of zombie movies. If you want something less gory and horrifying, then you might want to check out Sherlock, which is about... Sherlock Holmes. It's a new BBC production and it is of a very high quality. The big difference from earlier TV adaptions is that the new show takes place in our time. Sherlock Holmes is an exciting concretization of intelligence in the pursuit of justice. The casting is *great*. The actor who play Sherlock Holmes, Benedict Cumberbatch, is doing such a great job that it is his face I see when I think of John Galt. Martin Freeman is also perfect as Doctor Watson.

Yes: Finland.

I think it's a disgrace. It is amazing, and sad, to see how low Israel has fallen. They should not have released any terrorists in exchange for the soldier. This will only encourage the terrorists to kidnap more innocent civilians and soldiers. Israel appeases her enemies all the time and all they get in return is, as expected, more kidnappings and more attacks.

What should they have done instead? Well, I am not an expert on military tactics. But I think Israel would be completely justified in invading the Gaza strip and make life hell for *everybody* there until they *unconditionally* release the soldier. Yes, that includes the *civilian* population who, if you have forgotten, *voted* Hamas into power. There are virtually no innocents among "the Palestinians".

Today, not many remember or know about the "Operation Thunderbolt". Read about it, and you will see how utterly demoralized and weak Israel has become. Read about it and then tell me that Israel seriously had no military option available.

Great thinkers and creators whose ideas and accomplishments make my life happier, easier, more beautiful, richer, etc. People who by pursuing their own greatness, show me what's possible, how wonderful life can be. In other words, people like Ayn Rand and Steve Jobs. On a more *personal* level, it's my woman: Marja. Those who have had the pleasure to meet her and know her, know why.

No. But having said that, I have long had plans to make podcasts in the future. Unfortunately, I have not found the time or the energy for it - yet. But it will come. And it will be in English.

I think I would prefer children who are *biologically* mine. Why? Because it provides the choice of having kids another context which gives the decision another meaning for the parents.

What is the context? They are your *creation*. They are the product of the both of you and your lover. You may also see parts of your lover in your child which will also be a constant reminder of your lover and the love between you; the love that brought you together and which might have motivated you to have children in the first place.

I'm not a woman, so it is hard for me to project this. But I can imagine that being pregnant is something which gives you, as a mother, another perspective. As a father, it can also add to the context.

The child is, in this sense, another way to celebrate your love for each other. Normally, is also great fun to make babies. This is part of the context which might explain why most want their own biological children, instead of adopted children.

That's not to say there is anything wrong with adopting children or that you can't love and enjoy them as much as your own biological children. But I still think there is some variables in the equation which may make you think of and evaluate your decision to have a child in a slightly different light.
