I'm pretty sure that when the Albrecht came up with the idea of indulgences it was not to build St. Peter's, but to give democrats a chance to get into heaven. Which leads me to my point, my childhood. To really understand anyone you must venture into their youth. To say that my family is conservative is somewhat of an understatement. My mother listened to Rush Limbaugh daily, and threaten to leave the Minnesota when we were the only state in the union to vote for Mondale. My 11 year old son had to make a paper mache mask for a school project. As I walked down the sixth grade hallway I begin to notice masks of Pokemon, Shrek, baa baa black lamb, Ronald Reagan, Mario, Luigi, etc.. It is scary how our actions and words influence our children. Northern Minnesota is a tough place to be conservative, someday I hope that one of the candidates I vote for actually wins, and my son completes his self defense class before his classmates figure out who Ronald Reagan was....
