Do You Remember Your First Time....Voting?
The November 5 elections are not far away. In North Carolina, you have until October 11 to register to vote. I proudly registered to vote when I was 20 years old and they had just lowered the voting age to 18. [It had been 21] Since my friends and school mates were being drafted at 18, we raised so much hell about being able to go off and fight in a war at 18, but not being able to vote until you're 21. So it got changed in a hurry. I voted for McGovern, a Democrat and left-wing liberal---[before it was a bad word], for President. Against Richard M Nixon. How could you not?
