Of all time, it would be The West Wing. Currently, The Big Bang Theory.

Two of my favourite Sheldon quotes:
"That’s just the beginning. I also have an idea for a bulk mail-order feminine hygiene company. Oh, glow in the dark tampons! Leonard, we’re going to be rich." And.. "Huh. Seems like an awful lot of trouble to go through for intercourse. Don’t you have access to women who will do it for money? By the way, another accepted usage for the term 'ho'." What's your favourite? |

Just Los Angeles, but I volunteered in rural Tanzania in 2007. My favourite place I've travelled is Cambridge, U.K.

I'm disappointed that common sense legislation cannot be enacted in order to reduce the instances of military-type assault weapons from getting into the hands of current and future criminals. I find this tragic. Obviously I support the rights of law-abiding gun owners to maintain their fire arms, but restrictions have to be made for such dangerous weaponry.

Overall, I think a free market is best for the economy. Allow the market to determine prices and keep prices low. However, we need a basic level of social protection so that we have basic human needs met, as well.

Zero Dark Thirty, which was incredible. I had read many books on the capture, and from what I understand the movie was actually quite accurate. Also, I just saw Identity Thief, which was hilarious and full of surprises in the plot. Great story.

For the most part Top 40/Pop, but I also listen to some country and old school classics (Frank Sinatra type).

How about Wall Street from 1987? Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen. It's so relevant today in light of the current economy. Great characters and plot, fast and funny.

Definitely not real. That couldn't happen.

We have a different system in Canada, but back in 2006 when I had just turned 18 I worked as a registration officer during our federal election. In order to register (which you can do on election day at the poll in Canada) you have to present I.D .
To vote, you must prove your identity and address. You have three options: Option 1 Show one original piece of identification with your photo, name and address. It must be issued by a government agency. Example: driver's licence. or Option 2 Show two original pieces of authorized identification. Both pieces must have your name and one must also have your address. Example: health card and hydro bill. or Option 3 Take an oath and have an elector who knows you vouch for you. This person must have authorized identification and be from the same polling division as you. This person can only vouch for one person. Examples: a neighbour, your roommate. Note: The pieces of identification required under the Canada Elections Act are not the same as those for provincial or municipal elections. So, it's much more casual even still in Canada. For example, if I had a driver's license with my address on 1st street in Madeupville, ON, I could vote in that district. If I also rented or rented to someone on Main street in Madeupville, ON or any other city, I could present bills or statements showing that and also technically vote at two polling stations on election day. Only citizens are supposed to vote; the problem with the laws in the U.S that these particular states are enacting is that they prevent actual citizens (predominantly minorities) from being able to vote because they do not have access to the requisite I.D, and, thus, have their voice heard, which is unacceptable. |

The Newsroom

Hey, all. I was wondering if anyone else watches HBO's "The Newsroom"? It started last year and will be back in June with another season. Aaron Sorkin, the creator, is just brilliant in my opinion. It's idealistic, but so well done. Any thoughts?

Hi, everyone. New to the site. Just joined. Great to see there are many Canadians present. What do you like most about Canada? I have to say I love our water. I can't get enough of boating, water-skiing, swimming and relaxing at the lake.

Hey, everyone. Have you had a chance to check out Justin's new album? What are your thoughts? I love Mirrors and Suit &Tie. Do you have a favourite track?

What did you think of last week's episode with Sheldon and the closet and Howard's letter from his father? I certainly enjoyed it. Even after six seasons the material is still funny and fresh. Who is your favourite character?
