Do you find yourself caring more about Anna Nicole Smith...

kesfylstra @kesfylstra (1868) • United States 2 Mar 07

in death than in life? I would never bother to read an article about her when she was alive, but for some reason I need to know every detail of her funeral and the ensuing legal battles over it and her daughter. Any one else?

kesfylstra @kesfylstra (1868) • United States 20 Feb 07

Okay, I am getting this from Star Trek, but my point is still a good one. Do you think earth will become a nation in itself, with one governmental system? Do you think it will be like the EU, with sovereign but cooperating...
