Things that have shaken my world view:
1. The death of my grandfather. My mother's father, it was a fairly big news item in the local media, since he was a local judge, and doctor for the poor & kids. It made me realize that life can end, no matter how much you do, but the more good you do, the more you're missed.
2. Once night, my friends and I were on our way to a Harkin for President rally in new hampshire. We were on a mountain road, and it was snowing, and the car swerved, into oncoming traffic. we his an oncoming car, which SAVED our lives, since the next stop was 150 feet down the other side of the road, down the mountain. To this day, the bizzare irony of getting saved by being in a car accident hasn't been lost on me, but at the same time, the fact that I did survive kinda left me with a "what your doing os ok" kind of vibe thing....don't know if it's a good thing, or maybe I should ahd a more "every day is the last day of your life" kind of vibe, but, that's all I got of it.
