The content of some of the hundreds of photographs he took over there, and the incredible stories he told (both horrifying and uplifting), were almost beyond description. I hope to be able to write at least something about it here sometime soon.

I will look forward to that. If there is anyone who can do justice to this young man's story, you can. Please ping me when you do.

Thanks for the details. I really don't care what Bush did then. He came clean and more than made up for whatever ill-spent youth that he experienced. And he married Laura. No one who planned to continue living irresponsibly would marry her. She's classy, out-spoken and no "shrinking violet" (words of President Bush).

Kerry has made his past the center of his campaign; Pres. Bush has done the exact opposite. And Kerry has continued to live on the path that he began in his youth. The president made a complete U turn.

Thanks for the kind words, Steve.

In the meantime :), if you want to read something inspiring, try this. The authors are way too optimistic and idealistic for me, but the picture they paint of genuine -- as opposed to lip service -- conservatism is beautiful and accurate. The degree of power it wields in America today is where I strenuously disagree with them. But if you can ignore that aspect of their presentation, it's a great read.
