not bad.
break it into paragraphs, and do try to edit out all instances of the use of "where"(locative adverb) for "were"(past tense plural of the verb "to be")

case in point:
"I learned that the worst politicians *where* those that preyed on..."

Thanks. I am not an English major, actually I think I came out with a B in composition by the skin of my teeth. What I know of HTML would probably earn me an F in todays computer classes. My area is Psych and I felt the need to "enlighten" a few liberals using some language that they might understand. Don't ask me why. Anyone with better writing skills is welcome to rewrite this piece if there is someone who gives a care. I don't really know what possessed me to do it anyway. It must be the Friday fatigue...but it was sorta fun. Thanks for the tips. PS. I hated my English profs because I have expressive aphasia. :) True confession is good for the soul.
