Divers,
Do I have to write another hippie question? Yes I do! My neighbor, who is a card-carrying hippie, came into my house
the other day wanting to borrow a CD to be burned. Then she wanted to borrow a blank CD. I said you can buy a CD from
me, for a dollar. She complained. So here's this girl, complaining that I will sell her a CD for a dollar, so she can
burn a CD and save herself $10 and take money out of this artist's pocket! Is there any hope for humanity? Why does
everyone want something for free?

Mac in Hermosa,
You republican! Is Lars Ulrich your buddy? I think you should realize that everyone is poor at some point in his or
her life. And music is all about love! Share the love! Besides, Dawson knows, it's $21.46 (with tax) to buy almost
any CD. Some of us donhave $21.46, so burn it! Most of these corporate butt-pirates you're paying aren't worth the
cheap plastic the data is printed on. So be a friend (or call us idiots) but just burn the CD for your neighbor. And
to quote Q-Tip, "blast the music, any music it's here for all so you must choose it."

Diver,
This Starbucks vandalism is lame. Why aren't these vandals including McDonalds in their rounds? Or Wal-Mart? Or for
that reason, any of the privately owned sporting goods stores that sell shoes made in foreign sweat shops? Or stores
that sell music made by overpaid musicians whose music is played on Clearchannel-owned radio stations? Seriously, the
world's a mess and everyone's a capitalist, right?
- Jack
Jack,
Well Starbucks is an evil corporation and they deserve to die. However, hitting one bastard chain and not its cousin
is hypocrisy! Seriously, the world is a mess. But if you're not somewhat of a capitalist, then you can't survive.
Take it from us, we live in two shanties in the Grand Tetons and eat only hard-boiled eggs from our scrawny chicken
housepets. However, once a week we allow ourselves a smooth, rich, creamy Caramel Macchiato `99 with the money we
make from throwing ourselves in front of Fort Lewis College students' cars it's that expensive.
- Thanks,
Divers

luck.

Dear Diver,
I have this problem with people standing over my shoulder at work, always reading what I'm writing and watching what
I do, no matter what it is. I have nothing to hide, but the people I work with constantly butt into what I'm doing.
It can be work related or a private matter, these people constantly butt in! If I'm in a conversation on the phone,
they'll walk up and say "who you talking to?," and it's very rude. What can I do to get them to stop?
- Molly
Molly,
Two words: war paint! And stop bathing, if you're stinky they won't hover. But seriously, if your coworkers are more
obsessed with your life than their own, then perhaps they should consider a hobby, like cat-shaving or hot dog-eating
contests. If someone started butting into our lives, we'd tell them to get bent or make up some elaborate story like
the organization of a townwide delivery of cookies to 40 head cases, who are frightened by their own doorbell. Molly,
maybe you should consider a new career. You could become a schoolbus driver or build monster choppers with the Big
Schwag on the Discovery Channel. Mmmm, hot dogs. No cats were harmed in answering this question.
