" After I won the gold medal in the &amp;#039;68 Olympics, I went to Las Vegas. You had to be twenty-one to get into the casinos back then, but because of my size, I&amp;#039;d been getting into places underage for years. So I went to the Silver Slipper with some friends, won a couple of jackpots. And then a security guard came over and asked, &amp;quot;Aren&amp;#039;t you George Foreman, the gold-medal winner?&amp;quot; I was so proud he knew me. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re not twenty-one yet!&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Get out of here! And I better not ever catch you in here again!&amp;quot; All I could think was, As soon as I turn twenty-one, I&amp;#039;m gonna come back and take over the Silver Slipper. I&amp;#039;m gonna make &amp;#039;em pay. And so that&amp;#039;s what my twenty-first birthday meant to me.  My daughter Leola hears that story and she can&amp;#039;t believe it. &amp;quot;Nutcracker&amp;quot;\u2014that&amp;#039;s her nickname for me\u2014&amp;quot;that&amp;#039;s all you were lookin&amp;#039; for on your twenty-first birthday?&amp;quot; First time in my life I had a chance to make a difference, and I didn&amp;#039;t even register to vote. Leola turned eighteen in September. November will be her first chance. I&amp;#039;d never tell my kids who to vote for, just as long as they&amp;#039;re not at the Silver Slipper that day. George Foreman, two-time heavyweight champ and portable-grill entrepreneur, is pastor of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in Houston. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
