1. I have to tell you

As someone bordering on, or maybe wallowing in, geezerhood, it is so incredibly joyous to see young people catch on, get it, finally understand that their vote counts, that voting matters, that all of this does, in fact, relate to them and to their lives, and that they have a responsibility to vote, to make sure they understand the issues, to be involved, to vote, to vote, to vote.

When I first cast my vote, you had to be twenty-one years old to vote. That meant that our boys were being drafted and sent to kill and to die in Vietnam without having the right to vote. That unfairness still shocks me, forty years later.

What a gorgeous video.

Thanks.
