Thanks for the content suggestions--those have been added. And thanks for the copy editing--those corrections have also been made. And apparently I can't spell Somerhalder on my own.
Unfortunately, it's Monday morning, and this means developers again, and I am having to walk them through a) identifying what they have b) identifying what they need and c) asking for what they need. This is what I got my university degree for.
Fiction question--if you had to pick one over the other, would you prefer a story about people dumber than you, or about people you're dumber than?

I like to read stories about Mycroft Holmes. The smarter the characters are, the more engaged I feel. Characters need to seem at least as smart as me, or I get impatient and lose interest.
People I'm dumber than, for sure.
They reversed the MT supreme court on campaign finance
BALLS.
We're gonna need a constitutional amendment to fix campaign finance, and it'll never happen.
Maybe Continuum isn't science fiction, after all. (It's a Canadian science fiction show where the future is entirely run by corporations: there are no governments left, just companies.)

The Red/Blue/Green Mars trilogy assumes the same thing - governments and the UN still exist, but are widely considered to be useless and outdated compared to the "transnats" (transnational corporations).
This does sound like a stupid question, but bear with me: are you stupid?
I mean, basically--I like movies with people I'm dumber than, and I don't feel dumb. So...I like movies about smart people, assuming I'm average.

Yes. Really I like movies about SUPER smart people, assuming I'm smart.
I made such an ass of myself in staff meeting -- yikes. I mean in the sense of not actually remembering what my job entails. I was tired and hungry, both the result of waking up stupid early this morning (so having breakfast early). Ah well.
I always like to read about/watch smart characters.
I like movies about dumb people where I can root for nasty things to happen to them. "Eat the idiot blonde! She's right there! Eat her!"
Regarding last night, for the record, I don't care if she was hooking up or not. I was just in that mom worry zone. Shoot, at her age, I was married and had an infant.

I'd rather the story be about people smarter than me.
