I've often wondered if I am disqulaifying myself from future public office.
I've been on this list for almost four years now, and have been writing
editorials since I was in 10th grade. My views on all sorts of things
have changed a lot in that timespan - plus, I've spent a lot of ideas
trying out new and different ideas for size, and discarding them. I would
hope that America won't hold people to such things - and given our last two
Presidential selections (a draft-dodger and pot smoker on one hand, and a
draft-dodger, cocaine sniffer and drunkard on the other.)
