Don't let Mercedes Stephenson's looks or youth fool you: she is a well-spoken person and has done extensive studies on all things war.

Also, don't let Scott Taylor's military background fool you either.  He's not "all that".

If you were straight, you would have used a similar sized photo of Mercedes  >

I remember her from her time as a student at Calgary -- very smart, and quick-thinking on her feet. I told her parents I wanted to buy stock in her.

Actually, the photos were sized based on their relative egos.


Now why would you tell her parents you wanted to stick it in her....wait.....nevermind!  :-X
