This is a three minute video and I STRONGLY urge you to take the time to watch it.
You think you know John McCain? Here is The REAL McCain.
Please watch this, think about it and get the word out.
Electing John McCain in 2008 would be a DEVASTATING MISTAKE.

You Bring Your Own World
A friend of mine is volunteering in Togo for a couple of years. She is more than half way through her mission and though it is often very difficult and challenging, she is really enjoying her experience.
This is a great story that she recently shared on her blog:
A man came into a town and asked an old woman what the people of the village were like. She asked him what he thought of the village he had just left. He replied, “They were mean, lazy, and disrespectful.”
She replied, “You will find the villagers here to be about the same.”
A second man came and asked the same old woman the same question, but instead insisted that the people of his previous village were hospitable, kind, and hard working.
The old woman replied, “You will find the villagers here to be about the same.”
An onlooker rushed over to the woman and demanded to know how she could say the total opposite thing to the two men yet still be telling the truth.
The wise old woman replied, “Because the truth is, you bring your world. If you find people nice, they will be. If you find people mean, they will act accordingly.”
