Introducing... the State of AIESEC
As KK and I watched US television and cnn.com, respectively, we were quite bummed. No, I take that back - we were hysterical. I'm still out in Hong Kong, and KK is back in the US, but L.A. We both sent in absentee ballots and shared the passion for double-checking the numbers every 2 seconds.
In our fatigued conversations, we would say: "If the international community had a say, Bush would never make it to office." It was actually interesting to see CNN's live weblog coverage from different parts of the world. Indeed, how would the world vote? Even if a lot of our international friends are anti-Iraq war, I doubt that it would be a flawless victory.
So KK and I decided to dream a little...
"Come join the 52nd State of AIESEC, where the beer will be free-flowing and we'll listen to different political system of other nations. Where we will understand the strife of anarchy or a communist regime, because our fellow refugee statesmen from Pakistan, Chechnya, Poland, and Cuba will tell us what it's "really" like. But not only that, we may even learn something from it and incorporate the ideas that come from it into our state. The grass is green and the girls are pretty too."
It was something to keep our minds off of the actual campaign...
