Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[ieddyi]

This story is a little off topic, but telling. A family friend's son went to see Kerry on his campaign run through the town of Mt. Vernon in central Ohio. He wasn't strongly political at the time, but just wanted to see a Presidential candidate in the flesh for the first time in his life. He was stopped and not allowed to enter the town square to hear Kerry's speech. Why? Because he happened to be wearing flip-flops. He didn't even know what the big deal was until his parents explained it to him. He's a little more strongly political now, and now he's a Bush supporter. Thanks for the elitism, Senator Nuance.
