<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 22453, member: 57463&quot;]Thank you!&nbsp; We always voted.&nbsp; All four of my grandparents were immigrants.&nbsp; They took voting very seriously.&nbsp; Since this is a numismatic forum, let me tell this:&nbsp; My mother&#039;s mother had only an 8th grade education.&nbsp; However, she read a lot.&nbsp; When talking about the old country or at election time like now, she would say that Hungary was an apostolic monarchy, church and state were one.&nbsp; She used that phrase, &quot;apostolic monarchy,&quot; and I learned it from her.&nbsp; It meant nothing to me until I learned in college what &quot;apostolic&quot; meant.&nbsp; (We were not practicing Catholics, obviously, and there is another story in that.)&nbsp; Then, as coin collector after 1993, I finally saw a coin from Franz Ferdinand II: Apostolic Monarch.&nbsp; No kidding, Grandma was right...&nbsp; Anyway, the point is that all four of my grandparents came from societies that were basically still feudal, so they were grateful to live in a democratic republic.&nbsp; We always voted.&nbsp; (Sometimes I slip... but it is a deeply ingrained habit.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
