Saira's Questions
Q: Why does the truth fool us so well ?
Comment: I didn't really get the intent of this one... I hope it meant "the apparent truth", or else it's way beyond me.. Help!
Q: Does a rich person have more or need less ?
Q: Through gossip, do we secretly seek the destruction of people we know ?
Q: If our secrets were discovered, would they destroy the life that we built for ourself ?
Q: Do countries have a 'male' or 'female' gender ?
Q: Are [truly] great artists like Mozart and Chopin truly dead ? Or are they still around and taken totally for granted ?
Q: Why does it take such a long time for us to learn what we don't understand?
Comment: My version - Why does it take such a long time for us (as a civilization) to learn what we do understand? Equality, Peace and Good Intent works...

Mine Eyes Have Seen the Gory Realities of Nearsightedness -
"So what does that leave for me? Well, I understand that many highly trained individuals are prepared to shoot lasers into my eyes. Normally, I'm way into lasers. Whether in pointer or Zeppelin form, the laser is a real draw for me, but I just don't feel prepared to have lasers shot into my very eyes.
I'd be happy to undergo phaser eye surgery. Phasers probably have a setting for 'improve vision' as well as 'kill,' 'stun' and 'fail to do anything useful for plot purposes.' But lasers? I keep thinking maybe I'll go ahead and get it, and I go to the optometrist, and he's wearing glasses. So laser surgery is like ordering the cut the butcher won't eat. I'll stick with the traditional ugly, itchy and/or grime-encrusted forms off vision correction. For now.
Born helpless, nude and unable to provide for himself, Lore Sjöberg eventually overcame these handicaps to become nearsighted, shortsighted and excited."
