Where Democrats Come From

This was my first hand introduction into politics on my 18th birthday.
I was in OEA during high school, and with that came an assigned part-time after school job.
I was assigned to a Lawyer's Office. On my 18th birthday one of the lawyers came to me to sign up to vote. He asked if I would be a Republican or a Democrat. I didn't know anything about politics and asked him what the difference was.

Do you want to be greedy or do you want to help other people?

No one wants to admit to greed, especially in front of your boss.

That's how I ended up a registered Democrat in 1979 Albuquerque NM.

It took a few years - but I have a brain now, and am capable of my own thoughts.
