What were you thinking when you were stealing from people/businesses?

Have you apologized to your victims?

I looked at Tindie and my first thought was "there's a lot of neat stuff on here." But then I started poking around and realized that there's more than a small barrier to entry to actually using much of the neat stuff on the site since a lot of it seems to bits and pieces. In some cases, you'd have to actually string a number of the things together to make them actually "useful." This is unlike much of the what I understand people use Etsy for.

Is this something that you're looking at to lower the barrier?

Do you have a Tindie equivalent of Regretsy?

On the one hand, most people in the private sector get job reviews, have little job security if they're under-performing or do demonstrably bad work. Teachers in many areas, on the other hand, receive "tenure" after a few short years which makes removing similarly bad/under-performing teachers from their positions very difficult and costly. As a result, the right points to this issue as a leading cause for bad school performance (justifiably or not).

So, do you support allowing school districts and schools to have more say in personnel matters that does not necessitate costly arbitration/court room battles?

Given that every other professional sport seems to have drug issues, how prevalent are performance enhancing drugs in skating? Would you report violators?

Do you think that the rise of the religious right has been a good or bad thing for small government conservatism?
