But I had no idea how much worse there was to come! And I wasn't at all political before 9/11, I always voted, that was about it. But that event scared me witless and I knew I'd better start paying attention. And I'm pleased that pretty much everyone I know feels much the same way I do. I've been inspired not only to take an obsessive interest, LOL, but I worked on my congressman's campaigns!
