Grew up in small southern town, but somehow none of the propaganda took with me. always new the religious right and most of the left were full of crap, and thanks to my dad, figured out very early (age 2) most of washington was. Unfortunately, for me, but good for my teen years, he was part of the 'good old boy network, that kept me out of jail. So I didn't figure out that was BAD until I was older! Now he is no longer with me to show me right from wrong, but I learned alot listening about "that goddamned son of a bitch Jesse Helms" at 2 years old. My Dad will always be my hero.
