Reply #21: Thanks for the information. I come late to politics. I always voted, but [View All]

it took the terror of 9/11 to really wake me up and bring me to DU. And I had been listening to George Carlin, and what he had to say about all that was going wrong in this country. I agreed with so much of it, so was very disappointed when I learned that he didn't even vote. I was aware enough in 2000 to be profoundly disappointed, but the last one just ripped my heart out. I wouldn't have survived it without the support of DU. I spent a lot of time in that "help and support" forum, or whatever it was called. :-) I just felt physically ill. And I listened to George McGovern's remarks on the hurricane relief efforts with my SO, just last weekend. We were very disappointed when he said that we should wait to assign any blame. My first vote, ever in my life, was for him.:-(
