What if you are at school (high or uni/college) and have killer design skills but no scores on the board with which to show you can follow through on a project? Competitions such as this aren't for everyone but there are plenty of opportuni

What? This idea by Obama's campaign folks is pretty transparent. Plenty of people donate time, money or expertise to politicians that they support. All political parties make overt requests for donations, whether in pure cash or other forms

I am sure he has more to say. Given it has only been a couple of hours a deep eulogy isn't something I wouldn't have been worrying about if I was him.

Seconded, thanks for sharing Mark. A number of friends have gone through life altering trips such as you describe, there appear to be positive things that can be gleaned from psychedelics about oneself. That said I had one friend who didn't
