Like a Pendulum, we swing from one side to the other. We spent too much time on the left during the late 60's and 70's, then went Right during Reagan's reign, then to left again, and now right.

I think that it's actually the baby boom (of which i belong) continuing to have an impact. Getting older, and conservative as a function of that maturity. (although I wound never consider myself "mature"...)

I don't think we ever really went rightward during Reagan's time. We simply slowed the rate at which we were moving leftward.
