Okay, this is actually the "Introduction" but whenever I read a book like this, I always skip the introduction.  I wrote this book because it seems as if everyone and their mothers are writing books these days, but I have never seen a book about politics by someone in high school.  I hope lots of people will read this book, not just kids or the elderly or politicians looking for ideas.  I am writing to tell you what I think should happen in politics over the next century.  Hopefully, at no point will I seem to gripe.  If it seems that way, I am sorry.  This is not intended to be a book of complaints, just a book of observations, opinions of what should change, and maybe even solutions.  I tend to ramble sometimes but that’s okay.  If nobody rambled, life would be boring.
     I suppose I should briefly tell you about me.  Why tell you about me?  Because it shows how biased I am.  I’ll skip the boring stuff.  I was born in Austin, Texas in 1981.  I’m a Virgo.  At a young age, like one or around there, my parents got a divorce and my father came out of the closet.  My father was "married" (not legally, of course) to a guy named Chip who actually served as more of a father figure than my father. Chip made me read books since he worked at a used bookstore.  I am just telling you this to show that gays make wonderful parents, regardless of what others may tell you. (How would anyone without gay parents know anyway?)  Just so you know, my mother also later came out of the closet.
     Anyway, Chip and my father, Steven, both died of AIDS before I turned fifteen.  That just sort of shows you that my opinions are not unbiased (even if they are correct).  I currently attend the tenth grade at Lewis and Clark High School in Spokane, Washington and as of the time this book was written, had a 4.0 GPA.  To anyone who says gays don’t make good parents, I usually say something like "Well, just look at me.  I’m smart, attractive, witty, etc., etc."  Of course, then I say something like "Shove it up your ass and die."  And I usually leave out that whole "Look at me" sentence.  That’s my life briefly.
     Just so you know, I do not mean to offend anybody with this book, even though I will.  I am not going to change it or anything to make you happy.  Why the hell should I?  If you’re so offended, write your own damn book.  Send death threats to: [email protected]
