| In other words, let's make phone calls and show our interest in their culture, in their history and in their progress. If we buy more Iraqi pistachios and dates from Afghanistan, then the children of farmers might have a better education. |
| Joseph Nye tells this joke. The class dummy arrived at his 20th class reunion in a limo. Nice suit, great shoes, he talked about having his own company and he made a $100,000 donation to the school. His classmates gathered around and asked, “How did you do it?” The class dummy replied, “Well, I bought stuff at $1 and sold it at $3, and pretty soon that 2% profit just added up.” Now, that's soft power... spread harmony with humor. |

| Hey! I want to be a penpal, too! How can I get on this list? Send your name and a brief description of your interests to mistermath@comcast.net Thank you for your interest in the planet and in learning about other cultures. What are good ground rules or guidelines when writing to a penpal? 1. Despite the warnings below, remember that you are meeting a person without having to fly somewhere. It's fun and educational! 2. Use an email account that you can dump if you don't want to hear from the penpal. 3. Never state your street address or your phone number or your email address that is connected to your home. Use the yahoo.com or hotmail.com email account. 4. A teacher might have recommended a pen pal to you. Be careful. Your email address MIGHT be seen by another person in that country, or another person might be using the same cmoputer as the pan pal. You never know to whome you are writing. 5. Maintain a positive attitude. You are an ambassador for your city and your country. (Rules created by a class of students on May 14, 2004) |
