I'm too fresh out of college to abandon ideals, since they have carried me this far. I don't
plan to compromise any of them either.

that's okay. Lots of us were liberals at one point in the past -- I, for example, marched in the civil rights movement, was chair of my College civil rights committee, demonstrated against the draft and the Vietnam War, spent a summer on a commune farm, etc. (But never got into drugs at all -- it's simply not true that "everyone" used drugs. My friends and I had too much respect for our brains and bodies to use anything, including alcohol or tobacco.) So I'm living proof that you can be a flaming liberal in college and still mature as you mature.

Churchill probably said it best. "Any man under 30 who is not a liberal has no heart. Any man over 40 who is not a conservative has no brain."

There is a ton of truth in that statement. As you may well find out when you hit 40. But from what you say I assume you're under 30, so it's a good thing you're still a liberal.
