"I wasn't born when Jimmy Carter was in the White House. I'm 18, born during the presidency of the great Ronaldus Magnus. Every elected Democrat I've seen in my life (save people like Zell Miller), such as Hilbillary!, Albore, Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Kerry, et al. has been a raving liberal lunatic dedicated to socialism and absolute power. A leftist Democrat party is all I have ever known."

Good god, you're 18?!? You write like someone with a Ph.D in English Lit. My hats off to you lad. :)

Thanks! Unlike a good number of my peers, I actually pride myself on being well-spoken and literate. I've had people tell me when I raised my hand in class to stop using big words--as a [now former] senior in high school. It's sad, really, when people would rather pursue knowledge of J-Lo's secret wedding than of their own nation's history.

I've been writing plays since I was 12. One of my good friends has gotten hers published already. My "girlfriend" is an avid reader and is one of the few people my age with whom I can have a reasoned current events discussion. Before graduating high school, I headed up our Improv club (which always got rave reviews) and helped many to sharpen their extemporaneous speaking skills. I'd like to think I surround myself with good company...
