Self disenfranchising, my pedantic friend.

I think most the course was dedicated to the anti smoking campaign.

Well, it was Montgomery county in Maryland where I went to Jr. High, they taught anti smoking in Science class. Maybe things were different in Joisey?
Who knows about TJ's Jr. High in Florida...

Noone should be forced to join a political party in order to have a say in who should be in the final two for President of the United States.
It's for President of the United States, not the President of the local Moose Lodge.

Well, when you are elected Grand Poobah of the Loyal Order, I guess I'll have to listen to your nonsense...

Civics was in the ninth grade.
I don't remember much about the class.
Except for the teacher.
Don't remember her name, but I do remember she was mean and ugly.
Now ninth grade science was another matter.
That was Miss Bynum.
She was young and hot.

You can change your party affiliation any time you want and as many times as you want.
ps Extra points for the Borg reference.

So, what's your excuse for not learning how voting works since the early '60s?

I can't speak for Tom but I know untill a few years ago I was so busy with life, understanding the nuneses of our political system was far too low on my agenda to have learned.
I have this to me common.
Working 60 hours, cars, kids, houses kids, weddings, kids, birthdays, kids, anniversaries, kids...

Why do I have to belong to a party? I want to vote for "that person"...not a party.
