Letters to the Editor

How do you tell your dad?
Um... according to your letter, you already told your dad what you think. He plans to vote anyway. There you have it.
Voting rights aren't like driver's licenses; you can't prove to a judge that your dad is a moron and get them yanked.
As the years pass, I find myself less and less impressed by my parents' reasoning on political issues. When I was young, they were idiots. When I was a little older, they were unbelievably wise. Now they're heading towards idiocy again. It's desperately annoying to hear my mother say that anyone should be able to be pulled over and forced to take a piss test without probable cause because "they wouldn't do that to people like me anyway." But that's her opinion. I have mine.
Just one word of advice: don't talk politics over dinner. It's bad for the digestion.
