A few things I forgot to mention...

As for education, there is a great example of an unorthodox school in Atlanta Georgia (of all places..). It is a school that welcome refugees rfom other countries at the same time as courting the affluent (and probably liberal minded) citizens of the same area. I'll get back to this with the name, but the book I learned about it in is called "What is What." Check it out.

Also, with Mr. Edwards out of the Democratic race for the nomination, it is quit entertaining watching Hillary and Barack dance around trying to be friends with one another while trying to point out their many flaws.

Farewell good sirs and madams
