Birth of a Blog....Some Questions

The beginning of a weblog... home of assorted musings, deep thoughts, artistic expression and possible rantings... all emanating from the mind and perspective of a typical, average (ok, not even close) housewife in suburban Palo Alto California, home of the technosnob. Potential questions for discussion:

How is it so many common folks, the same ones being fucked over by him, may actually vote for Bush?
What the hell is going to happen to this country if he gets in for another four years?
Why doesn't anyone tell you how fun divorce can be (is it the same reason no one tells you how tough it is to raise kids)?
Why it's so important to change and grow in life?
Why is the live music scene so lame in this area, particularly the peninsula?
How can we overthrow RIAA, MPAA & their various copyright police & why do these political organizations act as though they own the best of the world's creative output (maybe because they DO)?
Why does the populace never get it, much less remember, the dangers of corporate art, even when we are reminded by brilliant artists, from Warhol to Eminem?
What is the true value of artistic expression and social comment... to the individual...to society?
How can people, who've been focused on achievement and productivity, be inspired to get in touch with their creative spirit and manifest it into art?
How can we help our kids to retain their imagination and spirituality in light of the left brain education they recieve?
Why is it so difficult to launch a career as a rockstar when you're in your forties and have no talent? (having started with such a tough question, I thought I'd make them easier as I went along)
Why do the highest musical artists usually cut out early?
In the end, when you have the answer to one of these questions, you'll have the answer for all of them.
