HOW FAMILY, SCHOOL, PEERS, ETC AFFECTED MY POLITICAL VIEWS

I always like reading, I remember I was 8-years-old when I began reading the newspaper steadily. We have it delivered at home, so I will run and pick it up and always read the entertainment section, and then whatever headline got my attention. No matter how much I read, it planted a seed that has not die until now. Every day I have to read the paper no matter what.

I remember the first election I went with my mother, I knew one of the guys that was running for president was a Capricorn (and so am I), I was only six-years-old, so please forgive me.

It's funny, because looking back we (my family) always went out to vote, even though we knew it was a fraud (did I forget to mention that I grew up in Mexico, were for 70 years the ruling party PRI always won?) There were actually, at least 3 political parties as far back as the 1930s: The PRI (thieves), The PAN (Right Wing), and the communist party that changed names through the years and now is the PRD. Anyways, election through election we would hear that people in small villages got killed if they didn't vote for the PRI, in bigger cities however it was more about the government promising something good for the citizens, on election day giving away food, construction material, or whatever cheap that could attract people to sympatize for them. It wasn't until the year 2000 when the PRI couldn't openly sustain their fraudulent practices that decided to share the power with the right wingers. We just have election in Mexico last July and it was a big fraud -again, openly backed by international forces toowary of the new leftist wave that's catching latinamerica again.

As for my peers, I saw some of the hardcore leftists of the 80s recently, and to my surprise, they've become CHRISTIANS !!!

So, that prettty much summarizes my experiences through the political world.
