We have never done it (opened our home to tourists via the Chamber of Commerce). I never said we did it. I said we have hosted foreign exchange students. One thing I do not have is confusion nor a problem with interpreting what someone else is trying to say. Far from it.
My husband and I were just saying that you remind us so much of our son when he joined the Debating Team in high school, along with Model Congress and Model U.N. He was a Freshman and continued on throughout high school and well into college.......
It's those three places that he learned to "debate" and argue a point to death. He would challenge us every night at dinner time, totally changing what the original thought was. I have a very laid back personality and could deal with it....thinking back now.
He continued on to excel at university and beyond........
I always thought he should have become a prosecutor.
As far as the "drug problem" in Vermont, you also took that train of thought totally out of context at the time. We are proud of our young police chief and all the drug task forces in our state who are hopefully winning the war against "STRANGERS FROM OUT OF STATE" coming up from the big cities and seeing Vermont as a soft target, trying to sell and hook the younger crowd on very dangerous drugs. What's in our favor is they stand out like a sore thumb up here...and are easy to spot, in more ways than one.
No confusion here.........if my intellect doesn't click on, my intuition will.
So, not to worry.
