I wish I had taken note before the actual debate had occured and set the debate to record on the DVR, it would have been an interesting debate to have watched. I like to be "in the know" politically, but when you can't vote it often takes away from the desire of knowing.

The above is a featured article entitled "Dating is not about marriage." I didn't actually come across this article myself, but it was sent to me. I read the article, and see it goes against my own philosophy of dating. But because I am not wanting to come across as stubborn and unyielding I want to further examine the whys and hows, and so perhaps I will at a later date more fully expand on this.

Both articles speak to the recent exodus of the French from....(wait for it)...France!! If my memory serves me correctly it talks of how the young and educated French are leaving, and using their skills and education elsewhere.
