6. I always voted, mostly for Democrats, but never paid much attention to politics until 9/11

I was at my dentist in Albany that day and all hell broke loose, my dentist was on the phone, checking on people, and I was in a room by myself watching a TV set to CNN, watching that second plane hitting the World Trade Center over and over. By the time I walked out of there, I was scared witless, thought the world was about to end. It was then I knew I needed to start paying more attention, started reading and looking things up, and found DU in 2003 where I learn something new every day. The closest I had to a grandfather used to watch all the news shows, while they'd put me to sleep. Now, that's pretty much all I watch.
