When I was in the second grade-7 years old, we voted in the "school 
election".  My elementary school, in 1968, elected George Wallace as 
President of the United States. I told you it was a conservative 
hotbed....lol...
It was my first exposure to politics...and what a confusing time it 
was..people dying...everywhere...politics and war...I can't say I was 
excited about it, just confused enough about what was going on to refer 
back to the folks for guidance.  I think they voted for Humphrey...I 
think, in the school election, I voted for Wallace because everyone else 
was excited about him...
There's a lesson there somewhere...hmmm.
