The thing about people getting more conservative as they grow older is a myth, IMO. Even though THIS older generation is more conservative than say the 18 to 34 year old, it is not that the old have become more conservative.

It is that the society has become more liberal as we evolve. Teh wrold is becomign more liberal, not more conservative. It is easy to see. Just look at the cultural milestones:

1776 we gain democracy
1865 we end slavery
1919 we allow women to vote
1964 we end segregation

And look at how marginalized the right wing has become. A few southern white males are all that is left of the Republcian party and they are making fools of themselves.

And we can all see one day all countries wil be democracies. Democracy is a liberal idea, not a conservative idea.
