Thread: Hello All

I would just like to introduce myself. My name is Chip. I am a 16 year old but don't underestimate me. I immerse myself in the political world. I read books and do research on politics, and different forms of governments. I do Model UN and have been all over the country to compete. I do not blindly follow leaders without doing my own research (Al Gore...Blech).

Hi and welcome. :waving:

But you do blindly follow them once you do your own research?

Sorry, I'm being a PITA.

No, I never follow. I listen to their points of view and absorb what they have to say. But no you are not a PITA. I like people that ask questions like that... I'm one of them.

Welcome M & M!

Welcome

What's this, if I may ask?

I believe it's like Mock trials or mock elections. Law schools do this quite a bit.

It's largely a high school activity. My kids participated. It was very helpful to them in understanding global politics.

On edit: I forgot. Welcome MM.
