Even if he wanted to he didn't have time to conceive notions. Despite even that, this guy was so excited for the trip. He has wanted to work for this organization for a very long time. He's one of the smartest people I've ever met, and he knows what the pac is all about -- intimately. <BR/><BR/>But, once he was on the trip, he was stunned with the people. There were 50 people or so, and the only way I exagerrate is by saying that all 50 want to be some politician. I should say 40 out of the 50. I'm not kidding you on this.<BR/><BR/>I met them. Twice.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, tools are the people that are good at politics, because they never have that thought that normal people have. Namely, they never think, "Maybe there is someone out there that knows more than me, or could do this better." That's a tool, someone that has a false self-image and shows it or tries to show it by emulating a persona they want to have. That's what these kids were. My definition of tools.<BR/><BR/>But whatever, maybe you had a much better experience on the trip (if you went). Or, maybe you're a tool? I'm not saying you are, I don't know you!<BR/><BR/>Just my thoughts on my blog.Danny Brothershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03372641972664155753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554337268732390744.post-2652985101810623592008-01-22T03:29:00.000+02:002008-01-22T03:29:00.000+02:00Gotta love the AIPAC Advanced Advocacy Misson... Unfortunately your friend sounds a tad cynical to me and probably missed out on getting as much out of the trip as he could because he had preconceived notions on what he thought the other people on the trip would be like. Not that many people were all that interested in becoming a Congressman, Senator or whatnot.. just a few tools that were outspoken.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
