This was really brought home to me the other day. I was putting in a shower fixture
at the appartment of a man who is 101 years old. His daughter handles all his
business. He seems to me to be a pleasant simpleton of a guy -- I'm sure that I won't
be that spry at his age, but that's not saying much.

Somebody at the complex came 'round to make sure he registered to vote and set up an
absentee ballot if he can't make it to the polls. And you are correct that this is a
cost that we must pay -- I certainly can't think of a decent alternative.

In Tennessee, it's evangelism.
