student. I'm really glad I did go back and finish, because it helped me be so much more understanding of the way the world works, and the history classes I took give me added perspective. I suppose that helped me really get interested in politics, besides this election. Now I want to get more books and read about the history of recent presidencies.

I am the only Democrat in my extended family too! I had a huge fight with my dad, which was a total waste of time. He'd send me these terrible articles by email.:-( On the bright side, my husband and three 20-something kids and spouses all voted for Kerry!

Those relative, though,have always voted Repub, and think this is a president with conservative values--Haha! Nothing conservative about trashing the wilderness lands, spending all our money, etc etc!

I try to just feel pity on them for being so gullible, and believing that John Kerry is the "straw man" that the RNC put up this year. I keep thinking, "if only they knew".
