My politics are of a practical kind - the integrity of the country, the supremacy of the Federal government, an honorable peace, or none at all.
For me, and I suspect for lots of other people too, bad things actually sometimes make you think more about faith and the fact that you're not facing these things on your own.
It occurred to me in my junior year of high school. I got my first letter from a big college. I still have that letter to this day - a letter from Indiana.
