Hello. My name is Scott, and I'm 17-years-old. If you're reading this, you've probably never heard of me before, as I've never done more than post a few comments here on MyDD and at DailyKos. I've considered writing a diary for years. One about the lack of attentiveness of Democratic campaigns in 2006, one about what I guess you could call economics, and one about familial political stories. I never wrote any of them, but I don't know why. I guess I've just been waiting to write about something that I consider relevant, so I've decided to write one for the first time this morning.

I first became interested in politics sometime in mid-to-late 2004, during the heat of the Presidential election. My first true exposure, however, is kind of an odd one, and I'd like to share it with you.
