i'm not so much "political" as "civic-minded". at least at this point in my life. i don't like politics but regard them as necessary and try to at least do my part.

SO, i've known about the clintons since they got into national politics and i knew a little bit about her arkansas days but back in the 90s a lot of that info was coming from right-wing propagandists like rush limbaugh & drudge & etc.

e.g., what you hear about her in relation to watergate is that she was fired (complete bullshit), not that she ws gonna be a political star and chose to go to arkansas instead.

so-- the part that i didn't knwo at all was her high school and college days-- how she stood up to a senator and made the cover of time magazine or how she patched people's heads at the democratic convention, etc.

also i didn't know how the arkansans didn't like her for wearing glasses (!!) or not taking clinton's name (!!!) and how she had to go from being a smart 2nd wave feminist with a sharp mind for policy to posing as a cookie baker--this was mirrored during the clinton years and i was familiar with that, but i didn't know it was a pattern with the voters.

and you know, there are still people who won't vote for her because she's a woman. which is very troubling.

i gotta finish watching evil dead 2 right now so i can drop it in the mail before pickup time, so i'll leave this hanging here.
