Remember that raw_input() is what actually asks you a question and 
stores your answer somewhere.  You only ever ask the question one time 
in your code, then keep re-checking the same value over and over, 
without anything to ever change its value.

In a case like this, it's helpful (especially if you're new to 
programming) to step through the instructions you've written for the 
computer, one at a time, and repeat to yourself what each step is 
accomplishing.
