I grew up in the inner city of Cleveland. The oldest of 7 children. My parents never owned a home, they lived in 21 different places by the time I was 17, including a couple of cars. I remember when there were 5 children and my parents living in a 3 room upstairs apartment on Cleveland's east side. My parents would sometimes sit in the kitchen at one of those old white enamel top tables, which, when the surface was chipped, was black underneath. When they counted their pennies, I could hear them clicking on the enamel top table. Click, Click, Click. </blockquote> | *[http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/082103_kucinich.html "Lights Out on Deregulation], by Dennis Kucinich in which he makes some biographical points.<blockquote>Where I come from it matters how much people pay for electricity.
