<p>ahahaha. Definitely. </p>
<p>Are you doing Model UN this year? I am. I'm Germany on DISEC. Nuclear nonproliferation, hell yes!!!!</p>
<p>Which Model UN. There are so many. I'm doing Yale.</p>
<p>Oh, I'm doing UChicago. Heh, I live, like, less than an hour away from UChicago.</p>
<p>Ah, that stinks. Oh well. Yale is hardcore fun. I got a Politburo Crisis Committee. I'm a stinkin' Commie :D</p>
<p>ahahaha</p>
<p>S'all right, comrade. As long as you help the state, s'all right. Just try not to get tainted by all those capitalistic pigs.</p>
<p>ahaha, Communism is near and dear to my heart. I was born in Romania right at the fall of Communism, so I've heard ALL about communism from my parents, who are big fans.</p>

<p>Lol, you know about Dialogo? And I'm somewhat of a socialist. Although I might be libertarian. Trying to figure that out right now.</p>
<p>It's hard for me to label my opinions on how the government and the economic system should work because although I have a natural tendancy towards socialism, I always have the image of what it turns into. I think we just need a little bit of anything, but then again how do we define "a little bit of everything"?</p>
<p>Heh, I think the U.S. government is going to swing from one extreme to another. Because people in democracies don't realize they have too much of a good thing until they are pretty far down the road in one direction.</p>
<p>This is true, but our opinions of moderation and extremity is going to change all the time. So, it's hard to keep the government down a steady path. This type of oscillation is completely natural in a government. Stagnation only leads to decay. </p>
<p>I'm just happy that I'm so close to getting to vote. FINALLY!!!!!</p>
<p>When do you vote?</p>
<p>I'm turning 18 in March, so I get to vote in the next congressional cycle, and then in 2008!!! WOOO!!! I think it's definitely going to go democratic next time. </p>
<p>Howard Dean should have ran for the Democratic ballot in 2004. He was a rock star. John Kerry's...face didn't move. It was creepy. How do you trust a guy whose face is full of botox?</p>
<p>I'm rooting for Mark Warner. He's a Virginia Dem. We need some Southern states. I was a Deaniac in 2004. That sucked so much when he lost.</p>

<p>I'm the only EA applicant who hasn't heard yet. Okay, I'm not, but that's what it feels like.</p>
<p>I havent heard yet either</p>
<p>BUT i've been bitten by a dog, a dying squirrel, and a hamster that died a few days after it bit me. Hmm...</p>
<p>I'm also an indian immigrant (been in states for less than 5 years) who is a volunteer firefighter at a completely volunteer fire company. Pretty cool eh?</p>
