Yes, I did. To my grandmother! She took my over to my mother and said "Do you know what this baby just said?" My mother was less shocked, since she and my father were who I'd learned that stuff from. I had an interesting early childhood.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm impressed. I was nowhere near that much of a radical when I was two -- I spent that year in the kind of existential dread and ennui that pretty much precludes political action, and my great quote of the year was "I'm bored because I'm going to die."
Radical political awareness had to wait until I was three.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At two I could pick Mao Tse Tung and Fidel Castro out of a lineup, but I wasn't sure why they both liked red so much.

Snerk, amych.
At two I could pick Mao Tse Tung and Fidel Castro out of a lineupMe too! Well, Mao and Trudeau, actually. My parents would point at the picture of Mao and say "Who's that?" and I would respond "Chai'Mao". Then they would point at the picture of Trudeau and ask "Who's that?" and I'd say "Lackey Trudeau," which was, naturally, short for "Trudeau, lackey of US imperialism."

A person's concepts should exceed their vocabulary, or what's a metaphor?
I'm impressed as well. I was four before I could tell you which presidential candidates were crooked and which were womanizers.
Of course, at the time I thought 'zipper problem' meant their fly wouldn't stay up and wondered why they didn't use buttons instead.

I'm incredibly apolitical now, but I used to have pictures of Thatcher and Indira Gandhi (I know, I know) up on my wall when I was 8, and the J'can MP I crushed on hardest then is now our Prime Minister, and it still gives me a warm feeling inside.
But now I'm shallow and care not of those workings.

My first memories are of being at demonstrations, but now I'm really nervous of attracting governmental attention. I'm still trying to work up the nerve to write to the government to say I'm in favour of same-sex marriage. I am wussy.

So, what Haligonistas want to go see Shaggy next month!?
He seems to be the only international artist, under 50 who comes here on any regular basis.

Because of your revolutionary past?

More from growing up knowing that the RCMP keeps files on everyone, and that the phone could be tapped and so forth. In high school I used to kind of wish that our phone was tapped so that the RCMP would have to listen to hours of physics homework every night.
