My kids are half liberal and half conservative. Just heard from my youngest who is in Europe starting a business.........just presented a business plan to a large EU corporation and got 500k investment in Euro without a bat of the eye from the BOD.........he's stoked...........already has 400k EU so they are in launch mode. He was educated in southern Switzerland for his last 3 years of college in international business management Other son is doing a MBA program online from Penn St while working fulltime at a great job in the oil and gas industry. Their educations have taught them lots about people and places..............could talk for ages about the travel study program at the Swiss college...........two weeks every semester in a different country studying the culture,etc with a Professor. He spent 10 days teaching English to a tribe in Malawi one semester........great experience that taught him great compassion and a lesson in what's truly important in life. He said they were the happiest kids he ever saw who had absolutely nothing.........everything they got gave them a level of happiness he had never witnessed before. PT
