Firstly, younger people are basically less bothered about other people's choices and behaviour.

Perhaps, but I'm not so sure that this is true. Within the narrow range of choices and behavior that where mentioned by Rambi you could make a much stronger case, more generally? I haven't seen anything that suggests the idea is true.

proscriptive and prescriptive rules on personal behaviour, both more the Republican stance

Not generally true (although again in the specific areas mentioned things would be different)

COuld I just hire you to write my posts for me?
You were much clearer than I :)

It wasn't supposed to be an argument about the positions, which Tim and I can argue all day if we wanted to, but about their importance to the new generation of voters.

And I sidetracked myself (and Tim) by listing certain things that the RW might have to revisit and de-emphasize. Or not-- and if not, then I think they will struggle.
