Thursday's Thumbs
1. Would you be willing to commit perjury for a friend? For example, would you testify under oath that your friend was driving carefully when she hit a pedestrian, even though she had actually been joking around and not paying attention?
No, I don't think I would be willing to lie in that case. I'd be more willing to state direct facts and leave out things, but I wouldn't lie.
2. Would you rather have a legal system that never punishes the innocent but often lets the guilty go free, or a system that sometimes punishes the innocent but never frees the guilty?
The former, rather than the latter. A lot really depends on the crime, but I do believe in rehabilitation, so I'd rather not leave the guilty to rot in prison.
3. On your death a memorial fund is going to be established in your name, with a substantial amount of money endowing it. For what cause would you want the money to be used?
Umm...I don't know. I don't have a "pet cause," so it's a tough decision. Probably something to do with space or space exploration.
