I have two minor suggestions for you that no doubt are things you might have considered at one point in time. <BR/><BR/>One - I just was lucky enough to travel to Europe for the third time. I think in some ways, hanging out with foreigners and discussing how they view America and what they think of our political candidates is an eye opening experience. I've driven across the States a few times as well, and while I cherish that experience, I think that sometimes it's nice to see life outside the US because it makes us grateful to come home, and helps us understand the places that we often just make generalizations about. And they do the same - it's fun to see what their perceptions might be. I had my first chance to go to Europe when I was a junior in high school - hopefully you will have a similar opportunity. My brother and his wife recently lived in Dubai as teachers for two years, and they had a similar sense of things, especially with the Iraqis they met, who were, by all accounts very kind and warm people.<BR/><BR/>My other suggestion is to not be so sure you'll be a Republican in 2032. People sometimes see changes they don't like in their party - see Colin Powell's recent support of Obama. I have no problem with the Republican Party, but keep in mind that we change as we grow, and you might not want to limit your opportunities for growth. <BR/><BR/>Good luck in your misson! I'll keep my eyes peeled for your progress!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00945246445956041658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249669012186708003.post-26328714651124082412008-08-23T18:24:00.000-07:002008-08-23T18:24:00.000-07:00Great job, Noah!

(moved home last summer) I was quickly educated as to the total control over media that China exercised. When everything in Iraq started heating up and I spoke about it to one of the Chinese managers in our compound, she knew nothing of it and did not even know the name Saddam. It was an eye-opening experience for me.<BR/><BR/>KayKay Bratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619283952491425397noreply@blogger.com
