Good questions indeed - Part Two

Oookay, time for another set of those answers. Here we go.
Would you rather be a member of a world championship sports team or be the champion of an individual sport? Which sport would you choose?
Easy one. I would go for the team. Just for the fun of it. Reaching such a goal as part of a group and being able to share that very experience with so many people immediately... To me that sounds much more gratifying that being in the limelight all alone. Oh, and the sport? I don`t know. The only thing I really like is swimming, so that would be it. Possibly.
If a new medicine were developed that would cure arthritis but cause a fatal reaction in 1 percent of those who took it, would you want it to be released to the public?
Yes, but mark your words here. I would like it to be released. I would not (repeat: would not) release it, if it were my descision to make! I can imagine the people already lining up in front of the pharmacies, no matter how many times you warned them. And I can imagine the many deaths that follow. So: Yes, personally I would like the medicine to be released. But I wouldn`t want to be the one responsible for that descision.
When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?
Hmmm... I don`t cry easy. I get sad just like everybody else, but real tears are very hard to get from me. Don´t ask me why, I have no idea. That`s just me. The last time I cried in public must have been at my aunt`s funeral, two years ago. She had been sitting in a car with her husband and another couple from the same town, when suddenly they had an accident. I am pretty sure that you all heard about this, since it was all over the news on that day. It happened on the Autobahn near Euskirchen. The diver lost control of the car, it sped downhill, turned itself around a couple of times and burned down completely. The two men were just able to get out in time, because they had been sitting in the front seats, but the two women in the back were burned alive. Now, at this funeral we were all sitting in this beautiful parlour at the graveyard ant the ppriest was talking about the senselessness of it all... when all of a sudden the other man (my uncle`s driver and now fellow widower) stood up, went to the front row where my unce was sitting, and with biiiig tears on his face, embraced him. My uncle did the same.
I cry more often in private. I guess the last time was when my grandmother died this summer.
