So, my Board member, Andy, says, "My uncle and aunt haven't voted since Kennedy was shot. They don't think it's worth it anymore." And I try to argue with him, and finally another Board member, Roger, says, "Andy, do you know what would happen if all of the Hispanics in Idaho, or even a majority, would vote? We'd have a Democratic State House and Senate and Governor, and the people in Washington would be Hispanic, too!" And Andres Guerra replied, "I'm a journalist and an activist and I keep telling them that, but I'm starting to think they're right."

So Andy's sort of bronze colored and I'm blond and fair skinned and so's Roger (who came back two years ago from his Fulbright) and so what? I learned a long time ago everybody's pink inside, and Jerry Falwell's blood and Adolph Hitler's blood was just as red as that of Shaka Zulu and Dr. King.

Or mine. Or yours.
