54. My mother is a fundie type...
...but I'm working on converting her. It's just the "values" her parents installed in her since she was a child.

My dad is sort of a Liberterian-type, but my outspoken liberalism is finally getting to him. Hell, he voted for Kerry in November, which really surprised and pleased me.
