41I'm pretty sure I have, but I can't recall the details.Have you ever had the opportunity to pick a goody from the goody bin?
42This survey makes me sad. So many people who don't even know what a goody bin is! Have you ever had the opportunity to pick a goody from the goody bin?

45Israel does it and their army kicks ass.Do you think Gays and Lesbians should be allowed to serve openly in the U.S. Military?
46I will say that I'm sure it would not be be easy for the military to make this transition. My understanding is that there is often a kind of "locker room" mentality to interactions among squads. And that mentality is part of an important bonding process that happens which builds strong trust and makes the squad effective. It's akin to hazing rituals in fraternities.

So, for example, it's likely common for soldier to call each other "jerk" or perhaps slap each other on the ass. Or brag about their sexual prowess. I'm sure most of us have seen movies where this is portrayed. Inserting an openly gay person into that mix can be challenging. There would likely be an official push to be sensitive and "politically correct", but that sort of thing would likely interfere with the critical bonding (and could result in resentment between members of the same squad, making the squad less effective and more likely that someone dies).

I'm sure having women in the military raises the same kinds of issues. I think we still avoid using women in active combat positions. I think the soldiers can just work it out in most cases, but there will likely be problems during the transition.

48It's kind of hopeless to change some people. But, I just wanted to say that I appreciate the spirit of what you did here. It didn't go unnoticed.Do you think Gays and Lesbians should be allowed to serve openly in the U.S. Military?
49Comcast... I don't live close enough to anyone to steal it. Mostly, I just feel lucky to be able to get Comcast. For a few years after we moved here, we had no high speed option at all. Some of our neighbors still can't get it. I put a password on our wifi... just in case a moose tries to hack into it or something.Internet Service At Home - How do you get it?
