Political Persuasion- how did you get there?

[tracilicious]

This is an interesting thread to me, as I'm trying to figure the whole politics thing out. As Alex pointed out, the religion of my birth prohibits political opinions/discussion and participation. However, I believe that to be a load of crap, as people are obviously going to have opinions regardless of whether they qualify their statements with, "even though I'm politically neutral."

So, I'll say my dad is conservative, and my mom is liberal. I'm sure I'm far more to the liberal side, but I really don't have a clue as to what that means, except that I usually agree with dems when opinions are stated.

I really couldn't care less about politics mostly, but it's come to my attention that there are certain local propositions that I actually care about. THings that could potentially make a difference in the community. I.e, pigs that can't stand up, or tax reductions that mean no more free museum days, etc. However, I'm not even sure when voting is, or where one goes for that sort of thing. So we'll see what happens.
