I just noticed that its been 5 years since I first joined Atlas during the conclusion of the 2004 primary season and about a month before the 2004 D-Convention. I'v gone from near communist to arch-conservative and many inbetween along with huge changes at the national level. Probably the first forum I'v spent more than an year on and hard to imagine its been half-a-decade already.
Time sure does fly fast.
I've had political changes-of-heart, too -- I'd be interested to hear how yours came about, as I remember you being far to the left when we first met.
