I have more credits than most people have with a PhD. But no degree. I had 3 years of Literature, Art, Language and Humanities; a year of Pre-Med; 2 years of Physical Education and Health; one year of Nursing; 23 years of starting, opening, and running a quilt store after being sick of losing credits with each family transfer over state lines of which there were 5.
I went online to political boards right after Clinton got re-elected to try and find out why people would vote for a serial ladies' man whose staff dissed every single girlfriend questioned about an affair. I was shocked to find out there was such a deep divide between Republicans and Democrats, horrifying statistics indicating a plummeting moral decline in America, and that people would make up lies about one candidate while agreeing with a known lying lout.
That's about the long and short of it, except a lot of good came from going online and arguing with scholarly people at NYTimes and TIME Pathfinder Boards--I had to work really hard for 2 years on vocabulary for understanding law terms and those of unendearing ad hominems, most of which were totally unfamiliar to me since I always thought pointless arguing was thoroughly inane.
I'm so centrist I annoy both left and right, but vote with my husband, who was and is a very conservative Republican man.
