I know this is just a stupid one-off and I'm old ... but, when I was a child I listened to the speeches made by a young senator from Massachusetts who the ran and won the presidency. As he would speak, I would write down every word. I became fascinated with him, his message, and how he got to where he was. My folks told me he went to college, got his law degree and so forth. That set me on the path. No. I never ran for office but got a phd and had a great life teaching and doing research because I chose to and was able to work myself thru college. But, it was the ideas of law, politics, and government that fascinated me and gave me my livelihood.
