Everybody's an asshole sometimes.

3. Are omegas and scapegoats assholes?

Social success by itself doesn't make one an asshole. You can certainly be an asshole and attain social success, but that isn't a necessary part of it.

11. That photo is an example of why I love digital photography.

I love film and aamof I miss it. But I believe that the more you shoot the better your chances of getting a great shot. With digital you can shoot at will and never run out of "film."

When I took that one, I took about 100 shots in ten minutes.

Otherwise, not necessarily.
