I guess for some there's no school like the school of hard knocks....glad you saw the light!
Thanks! I'm glad too! Feels so much better, and they're so fun to annoy too with things like....facts!
I would say that I was always fairly conservative since I was little and didn't know it (I can remember when I was young, asking my Dad why we have to give money we made to the govt. Any the first year of my undergrad, I made a bleeding heart prof get teary-eyed during class because of my views on poverty and the best way to help. Help NOT being wealth redistribution).
After 9-11 I started paying more attention to things going on, i.e. mainly the media, and got swept to the left briefly. Any more, their coverage of anything political is just disgusting.
Its funny how your outlook changes when you check FACTS!!!
