"One time there was a young teenage girl who was about to finish her first
year of college. She considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and
her father was a rather staunch Republican. One day she was challenging her
father on his beliefs and his opposition to programs like welfare. He
stopped her and asked her how she was doing in school. She answered that
she
had a 4.0 GPA but it was really tough. She had to study all the time, never
had time to go out and party and often went sleepless because all of the
studying. She didn't have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many
college friends because of all her studying.
He then asked how her friend Mary, who was attending the same college, was
doing. She replied that she was barely getting by. She had a 2.0 GPA, never
studied. Was very popular on campus and was at parties all the time. She
often wouldn't show up for classes because she was hung over. He then asked
his daughter why she didn't go to the Dean's office and ask why she
couldn't
take 1.0 off her 4.0 and give it to her friend that only had a 2.0. That
way
they would both have a 3.0 GPA. She fired back and said, "That wouldn't be fair, I worked really hard for mine and my friend has done nothing."
After a moment of silence, she replied, "I guess I will never vote Democrat again."
