Sticking Together

This morning, you reflected on things that would make a marriage great, fun, or long-lasting.  The things that will make a marriage strong are the same things that will make a strong friendship. 

What advice would you give to someone wanting to make a marriage or friendship last?  How can they keep their relationship strong? 

Too Young to Vote?

On November 6th, millions of Americans ages 18 and older cast their votes for president (and so did our class, unofficially).  The National Youth Rights Association wants to give even more people the right to vote by lowering the voting age to 16.  Supporters of the idea say people would be more likely to vote if they started at a younger age.  They argue that anyone who's old enough to drive and work should be allowed to vote too.  They also point out that some other nations, like Brazil, let 16-year-olds vote.  Opponents say that people under 18 aren't ready to vote.  They argue that 16-year-olds are too young to understand the issues or make informed decisions about politics.
