It is not that bad of advice really since in US system the states actually vote for the President. There is not much point in voting if your state's population obviously is another party to you.Quote:

You were generalizing about Americans so I just pointed out an exception.Quote:

Do you speak another language (aside from learning Russian) like Kalinka's mormon friends? I live in AZ, which has the second highest mormon population. I worked and lived around many of them - but never inquired if they learned any other languages after mission work.Quote:

I worked for Mormons. They owned the 2.5 million acre Ranch I recently worked on in Tuscarora. I always thought it strange that, the owners being religious, made us work 7 days a week! Actually, they let us off only on Sunday afternoons after already working for 6 hours. And when it is 65 miles to the nearest town you can imagine how pointless it all was.Quote:
