26. I would like to thank George W Bush for making me a better person.
I've learned that even the little lies people tell destroys your credibility and respect.

I've learned that you DO need to take your job seriously.

I've learned that people DO need to be politically involved.

I've learned that I musn't be complacent, and must always be informed and vigilant.

I've learned to be more discriminating about the information I get.

I've learned to question why people say and do what they say and do.

I've learned to judge people by their actions - not their words.

I've learned to walk the walk - not just talk the talk.

I've learned that government really does affect your daily life.

I've learned that we need to live more modestly.

I've learned that I need to listen more.

I've learned that how you treat others is the most important indication of your character.

I've learned that being religious guarantees nothing.

I've learned that the guy you want to have a beer with is not the same guy you want in charge.

I've learned to be more like the guy you want in charge.

I've learned that the rat race is stacked against you.

I've learned that the lifesyle sold to us on TV is crap made in China.

I've learned that I have to be "that other guy" who will stand up and fix the problems.

I've learned that there are no great countries - only great people.
