At an age when I am still young and ambitious, I have witnessed my parent’s changing and often wondered what ever happened to their ideals or ideas. Just like anyone who is aging, thought tend to go towards retirement, pensions and the many ways to enjoy the indulgences. In the past, it was all about greater good, throwing caution to the wind and flippin’the bird at the MAN.

I sure hope the trend does not continue into my generation.

I remember that balloon guy…didn’t he go up in swim shorts and suntan oil, expecting to enjoy the weather and get a tan? I think he cut the trip short because he was freezing.

That liberal vs con debate is funny in that just because one participates in the conservative acquisition of resources and wears a tie, it doesn’t mean that they have to fundamentally believe in the grand scheme of what they’re participating in. truth is truth and doesn’t change because a former liberal needs to feel good about themselves by justifying their grab.

On another note your dad’s friend got that old adage wrong. It goes, “if you’re not a liberal at 18 you’ve got no heart. If you’re not a conservative by age 30 you have no mind.”

Next time respond, “if you’re not a liberal at 18 you’ve got no heart. If you’re not a Leftist by 30 you have no SPINE.”
