Another Anecdotal Story

[n2doc]

I have a good friend whom I have known for over 30 years. He was a teacher at the school I went to, although I didn't have a class from him. We got to know each other through a club he was mentoring. Anyway, he is one of the most sensitive, philosophical, and uncompromising people I have ever met. We have had many a great conversation about music, art, religion, politics, you name it. He has refused to vote all these years because politicians inevitably disappoint him with their compromises and selling out to big money.

Last weekend I spoke with him. He lives in California. He registered to vote solely to vote for Bernie. He has loved Sanders since the 70's, and back in the late 70's considered moving with his family to Vermont. He ended up not doing so, but Bernie's run has re-kindled my friend's participation in Politics. That's how much Bernie moves people.

1. I think there are a lot of people that would never have voted in their life if Bernie had not

come along. If Bernie is not the nominee, they will go right back just getting along the best they can, just playing by what ever rules the establishment puts out there.

4. And like most of the people I have known.. Looking back I told them that their vote did matter.

That the will of all the people is usually good at picking the right person. I still believe that, but only if we have fair elections. But we don't in most places it seems. My idea was correct, in theory, but their idea (that voting doesn't make any difference) is correct in reality.

2. What a nice story.

It just feels good to be voting for this person.
