3. Jeez, David, let it go

Okay, so something bad happened way back when you were in high school. Just let it go, cancha?

Nope, sounds stupid regardless of when "back in high school" was: Four months ago or 40 years ago. Some things you don't just get over. But then, look who we're getting lessons on forgetting the past from: The same political party that can't forget the Civil Rights movement, Nixon's resignation in disgrace, or Judge Bork.

4. They good start young

Look at almost any endeavor and you'll see that most often, they start "learning by doing" young. Artists, athletes, and even in these modern days, internet entrepreneurs, all frequently were starting very young, often prepuberty but if nothing else, in their early teens. You're seeing a future leader working at a very high level, very early on. Think of Andrew Young, or most of the people that sent Apollo missions to the moon. Look at how old they were when they started.

has resulted in it being his job to tell others to vote to end gun violence.

So, vote now so that you end the massacres, and then you won't have to do the job he is doing in trying to get people to vote to end gun massacres.
