19. The "one issue" thing is my definition of not savvy at all.

I like my guns. They keep meat in my freezer that isn't chemically treated. I'm pro-choice and very, very feminist, etc. I'm not Christian or any other organized religion. I am, however, a definite believer in "something" out there way smarter than me! I cannot, and probably won't ever be able, to understand "one issue" voters!

And I haven't missed a vote since 1972, when I was old enough to register!
