Living in a free country and having the right to help choose the next leader of the country makes us among the luckiest people on earth. Don't believe me? I once visited a country governed by a military dictatorship and saw machine guns on all of the policemen (not on soldiers) and children sleeping in the gutter in the fanciest neighborhood in their capital. Trust me, we ARE lucky, whether by accident of birth, chosen immigration, or honorable service in this country's military. All can confer the right to vote and help choose leadership without having to justify your choices to anyone...it's a secret ballot. And that country that I visited? It's a democracy now. Our great little idea for citizen self-governance sustains more than just our little corner of the world. Be a part of it. Remember the previous blog about luck?

I was in the USC area and voted on the USC campus. Guess what? There were plenty of girls to meet. You just have to pay attention. As far as voting goes, I think it's important. I was discussing this with my friend Jack yesterday and I believe people who don't vote haven't really taken the time to define their identity. When you know who you are, you start standing for something. You start having values that you feel are important to you. Life rewards action. No matter what choice you made, it's better to make a choice and cast your vote than stand on the sideline wondering which one would be better. I guess for some people, life will go on no matter which candidate goes into office, but it's really a question of taking charge of your life. Make a choice. Make things happen. By taking ownership of the smallest things (in this case, voting), you'll feel more empowered and more willing to lead your life purposefully. Taras,

Volunteering on a campaign has been one of the best ways that I ever found to meet women. One campaign (you can probably guess which) was full of young and beautiful people.

If I would place my or general opinion of europeans about americans through the same lens of view as you did, I quess it would sound like this: naive and fat people and the country of Mcdonalds. But such judgement is acceptable only for uneducated people or chauvinists. So my suggestion is - always be more diplomatic. What about America, I rely on this country as a leading member of world affairs, even if it fails sometimes it still has the capacity to do good things. I think this will improve with your new president B. Obama. As he said: "If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, tonight is your answer." As this blog is about relations and communication with people, the emphasis is put on opposite sex, I have to say that I love americans because the majotity of them are so nice, witty and cheerfull. Yesterday I spent all day with american girl, that is quite rare experience, because there are not so many americans in my country, and I had very good time. So, in my opinion, only interaction and communication can help us to know other people, but not stupid stereotypes! Jonas EU Lexi,
