3. George Washington (1903-1949) and William McKinley (1916-1937), in the Philippines.

4. Richard Nixon in 1971, letting the dollar float freely against other currencies.

About things not associated with drugs. You have to be more specific. People will misunderstand you.

I read all of our Political Trivia, Xec. Then I slip what I learn into random conversation with people back home and they think I really have my shit together. :arms:

Aww. I like learning about drugs, man, YOU can teach me all you want. Just leave the Fear Factor guy out of it, please. Tell me everything he says if you want; just let me live in bliss and think that you're the one that thought of it.

Paris is good. Of course I speak French, my dad's French. As for my accent... you mean when I speak English? Give me your phone number and you'll find out.

hahaha, no.

I would have liked to like paris more. I did like it, but it was my least favorite out of everywhere we went. They didn't let us loose to experiance Paris. We were always with the group, which is like 260 people. They thought Paris was the most dangerous. I wish we could have just embraced raw paris! Oh well, next time.

We should set up a phone call night again!!!!

Phone call night? As in Culties call each other? I'd do that.

Just make it a quick call. We could set up pairs. If people don't want to call different countries, because it does get expensive, and some cell phones don't work across the sea, then we'll just have to work it out. You can talk as long as you want about whatever you want. cool!
