Driving distance is the perfect distance for me: would allow to meet often enough to call it a relationship, while leaving both with their own time and space and preserving novelty a bit longer.
Cohabitation kills romance. And I don't want all the trouble that long-distance travel brings with it.
Background as something a person has no say on, like ethnicity or race or country of birth, is not important for me. The choices, that a person made and continues to make as adult, are.
Have I ever been judged only by my origin (I'm Russian)? I certainly have been. Bothers me not, as I have my own prejudices, just ask :)
I do care how our representing system works. That our country (Sweden) does not have a political leader now (and didn't have one 4 years ago), doesn't alter the fact that the both of USA:s presidential candidates were macabre.
