It is true that traditional Christianity is losing some of its appeal among Americans, but that is a religious, not political, matter.

Where there is life. Some of it, possibly, intelligent. ~Stephen Hawking

When first starting to work with someone you try to get them in the same mindset that you were in when you were successful, and I realized the best thing you can ever do is realize that they are not you.
