Thanks for telling me what I've been hearing for the past year. Ever since I left college, everyone seems intent on letting me know I'm going to change. Of course I am, that is after all, an evolution of life. But these opinions I have of our Nation were formed because they strike a chord deep in my stomach, not because I'm a college student hung over from last night's bong hit.

I respect the opinions of others, but doubt they will do anything to persaude me otherwise.

<<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.">>

Actually, I believe it was Bismarck, and the term was not "liberal" but "socialist"; and not "conservative" but "capitalist". I have not, however, seen an encyclopedic source. If it was Bismarck, it was one of his many clever and lasting political commentaries.

(It could have been Churchill quoting Bismarck.)
