Damn... my earliest geopolitical memory: 9/11

I'd have to go even later. I only heard about 9/11 a while after, but I'm pretty sure I knew about the Iraq War. I definitely "supported" Kerry in 2004 (one of two in my Kindergarten class to do so: the other guy liked him because they were both called John).

But the earliest geopolitical event I remember caring about and really following in depth? You might have to go as late as the Arab Spring for that.

Shit, son, I was out of college, had been living with a girl for four years and was looking at buying a house.

So now we know which one of us has an excuse to be immature.

I am going to interpret that as a call to action.

You only live once, man. Do it while it's excusable.
