Don is "Qualified"

I finally got my AP test scores in for my American Political systems and Government..

I got a 3 out of 5 and a perfect on my essays... The essays were on the electoral college, The Acid rain circle of problems.. and something on international policy..

so.. I am qualified to take part in political discussion... on a more serious note

Wow, remember if you go into politics you only need to do three things to be successful!

In order from most important to least:
1. Lie, no one ever got into office telling it like it is.
2. Steal, how do you think they can afford to stay in office? Don't worry the taxpayers won't mind.
3. Cheat, this one goes hand and hand with the other two so its so easy!

Good for you, Don. You probably know more about our political system now than most other Americans. It's depressing how little most American voters seem to know. It's encouraging to know there are people your age who have learned this stuff. Maybe the republic will continue for a while longer.

That is what the instructor told us. Even though I and two other students seemed to head every debate

Put on your game face and start to get people to like you by telling them what they want to hear. Then get a great wife who doesn't care about the truth, only about getting ahead. Then start pumping yourself up as the greatest thing since Windows 3.1 - you'll be fine.

Seriously, however, what do you do with a Political degree? Just curious - congratulations.
