John, John, John, You know I would never break the rules of no politics, sex or religion on the list. There was no politics in that discussion...merely a few facts in government or civics. I was very careful not to inject my own opinions about any candidates, just thought it might be interesting for those not familiar with what the primary election and voting process is like in this unique state. I am always a good cousin. I never, never do anything bad.
