1. What is your full name?

Jesse Borges

3. What is your opinion on birth control and abortion?

It depends on the situation. Personaly, I don't think that I will be ready for sex untill I am ready to have a baby. But still, for other people it does depend on the situation. Like Jessica said, if the woman was raped, then sure, of course she'd get an abortion. I kinda think that its rediculuos how many people have sex at such an early age, before they are ready to have a baby. People don't seem to understand that sex is a magical, spiritual, sacred thing that I beleive should only be shared when you are with the person that is your "true love"; the person that you will bemspending the rest of your life with, the person that you would absolutly love to have a family with, the person that if a pregnancy occered, you would be incredibly overjoyed, instead of wanting to murder the baby.

4. What is true love to you?

True love is when you truely love some one. Meaning, that it isn't a crush, it isn't just attraction; But you really love them. This is destiny. This is also the person that you would love to spend the rest of your life with.

5. What would be hell for you?

I believe that everyone creates their own hell, and everyone creates their own heaven. Life already IS heaven and hell, a person can make it either way. If they choose to be happy, then life is heaven. If they choose to be depressed, then life is hell.

I am on a quest for happiness, so I think that I am somewhere imbetween the 2 extremes, as most people are.

7. In your opinion, what is the world's biggest problem?

The world's bigest problem is that very few people are actually aware of that is happening. We don't realize that we are actually here. I beleive that this is the key to happiness.

8. Do you believe in (a) god? If so, what are your beliefs?

Well, I used to be a christian, then I became an atheist, then I became a buddist, then I became a christian, then I became an atheist, then I became a theist. NOW, I realize that It doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter if God exist or not. We just need to learn as much as we can from all faiths. I now don't have a religion, as I feel that it only gets in the way of people's beleifs and spirituality.

9. Is there something you feel like no one "gets" about you?

There are plenty of things that MOST people don't get about me, but some do. MOST people don't understand veganism, or unschooling, or volentary simplicity, or activism, etc, etc, etc...

10. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I see my self living in a community of loving caring people. I see myself as serving others and loving it. I see myself with very few posetions, and in really good health. I see myself as a peaceful warrior, educating and training other people that want to be peaceful warriors.

This is only in answer to the last question. This is a poem I wrote last night... I started writing thinking about one person, but by the end I realized it applies to a lot of my friends.

 I want to buy a house with you.
 I want to argue over city, space, design
 In the evenings, after the heat is gone
 but before the sun starts to set
 I want to bicycle downtown with you
 go to used bookstores, local bands playing
 loose track of time and find our way
 home in the dark.
 I want to spontaneously adopt a stray cat.

 I want to laugh with you
 before I get in bed at night and
 when I wake up.

 I want to loose track of who's turn
 it is to do the dishes
 and wash and rinse side by side
 and argue strange logic
 and sing rounds.

 I want you to laugh at how I brush
 my teeth
 I want to tease you about how
 you yawn

 I want to bring you a piece of writing
 and watch you read it
 watch you get up to get a pencil
 watch you mark it, watch your hands
 when you gesture intensely, explaining

 I want you to make me tea at night
 without asking

 I want you to come to me first
 shooting out exitement
 when you meet the one of your dreams.

Do you think you treat your friends well?

• I try to treat most people well. You'd have to ask my friends to see if I'm succeeding.

What scares you about yourself?

• Different things at different times. My ability to lie about who I am and the fact that I once considered suicide come to mind.

What are your opinions on birth control and abortion, and why?

• I'm all for them. It'd be best for everyone if every kid born in the world was wanted and cared for properly.

Where do you see yourself in ten years?

• I have no idea. I don't plan ahead more than a month or so, usually.

What is the one thing about yourself that you don't like to tell other people?

• What I'm really feeling at any given moment. I am not good at putting feelings into words, and I think it might make me seem like I don't care about anyone.

Does silence scare you?

• Only when it's unexpected. Hey, my stereo might be broken!

If you had to go away tomorrow, and never see anyone in this room again, what would your regrets be? What would you wish you had said, who would you wish you had said something to? Elaborate.

• Seeing as how I'm the only one in the room right now, I'm trying to think of where I could go that I would never see myself again. I'm not coming up with much...

In a phrase other than 42, what is the meaning of life to you?

• Something with the ability to grow and reproduce. Or did you mean a nonscientific definition? If I ever come up with one, I'll let you know.

What do you think would be hell?

• I don't believe in hell. There's no situation where things can't get better, and there's no situation where things can't get worse.

What is your opinion on teenagers having sexual relationships, and why?

• I don't think age has as much to do with it as maturity. If people feel like they can deal with the possible consequences, it's fine with me.

What is true love?

• Unconditional. But I'm not sure if it exists.

What is the moment when you've felt closest to someone?

• I don't know. It's been a long time since I felt close to anyone except my parents.

What is the most selfless thing you would do for someone you really loved?

• Die. But I hope I never have to.

Who is someone you're uncomfortable being around, and why?

• Most people. Unless I know someone pretty well, I'm uncomfortable around them.
