[a fool in paradise]

12. You’re liberal in youth, yet grow conservative in age.

Sez you. I did not support Jimmy Carter in my youth. I did not support the Weather Underground or NOW in my youth. I didn't stand with No Nukes. I didn't oppose Ronald Reagan.

"You’re liberal in youth, yet grow conservative in age."

Well... This is true of many people. It is called, get this, "learning from experience".

Of course, sometimes this involves being smart enough to learn from the experiences of others.

Evidently, the author is immune to either.
