Mitt Romney's Mormon Mission to France

Today, the New York Times has an article about Mitt Romney's Mormon mission to France in 1968, and the deep impact that his time there had on his life. While there, Romney observed the break down of traditional French society and an emergence of younger and more progressive generations. Also, he missed the same (although less extreme) changes in American culture. From the article:

"There had been this whole revolution while we were gone,” recalled Dane McBride, a close friend from the mission. “While we had gone from being adolescents to grown-ups with a lot of responsibility, our peers — from our perspective — were just tearing down the country, becoming dangerously childish.” He added, “It just seemed deplorable."

Take a look at the article, its a very interesting read.
