Actully I use it to make a point. When I cast that vote I:
- Didn't Have a Job
- Didn't have any Marketable skills (still in College so no digree)
- Only had a few grand in the bank, and most of that was earned by my PARENTS
When you have all those factors it's pretty hard to NOT vote Democrat.
And it's funny how many Dems I know who fit those critiria: (Actully a lot of them have marketable skills...they'd just rather not USE them...see the first one)

Grow up.
I had a really fun childhood. The ammo was free, the water was safe to swim in, and you could go off for the day with a rifle and a backpack and nobody worried.
Jeez, Chris, you just brought back fond memories. I had use of just about any rifle I wanted, free ammo, hunted every day after school (during legal seasons that is), not a care in the world.
The dumbest thing I did as a child was decide to go mooning with some friends in a van. Of course it never occurred to me that me being the only non-white in the group (in the parish) that my ass would be the easiest to identify... Of course since I wouldn't give up my friends I took the whole punishment ( I still have nightmare of picking trash off the street...
Anyone remember in the early-mid 60's the Mattel Co. had a 6 shooter and Winchester type rifle, had a shell casing with a spring inside, you pushed a grey plastic bullet onto it, peeled off a greenie stick'em cap which was a small round cap from a sheet of them, stuck it on the back of the casing like a primer and loaded them into the rifle(or revolver), you pull the trigger and BAM the cap goes off and the bullet goes quite a distance.......I got the rifle for Christmas, loaded it all up and shot a bunch of those glass-metallic or whateverthey call'em round ornaments from the tree, nice mess everywhere, mom and dad wake up, dad gets the strap and tans me a new hide.

Dumbest thing I think would have to be when I was 5 or 6 my parents had a barbecue and invited the family over....no gas grills back then or at least not like today. So my father had finished cooking and went to check the coals to see how much longer they would be burning I suppose so he could dump them out. I was with him and they had that nice white ash around them and you couldn't see the orange ember underneath. I asked some stupid question about them being hot or whatever and he insisted they were and for whatever reason (which is obvious to me now!!!!!) instructed me to stay away from them. Well, we all know about that curiosity factor and I needed to see for myself how hot they really were.
So with both hands I scooped up a clump of those extremely hot coals. After a realy loud scream, lot of crying and a trip to Children's lets just say that I will remember how stupid that was and I won't be doing that again any time soon. lol
No worries....only second degree burns and I'm feeling much better now.
