That was the year I became old enough to vote. I grew up with that sort of debate as normal, if you read the newspapers you would have the same sorts of things. Now it's all name calling, slogans and picking a side like it's a game of football. We used to at least pretend that social issues and making the world a better place mattered, now it seems to be just about winning no matter what.
