I remember the 1988 election, but not substantively. The 1992 election is the first one I had a mild grasp of. I remember begging my parents to tell me who they voted for, and finally on election night they sat me down and told me that they voted for Ross Perot, but that I could never tell anybody that, it wasn't public knowledge, and I shouldn't ask any of my friends parents who they voted for. I think topics can be debated, but nothing is ever gained from debating candidates, and I long for a day when that was private
