I used to be left of Mao when I got out of college. Then I realized that if I can take care of myself and others then anyone can.
There was a huge thread a couple of years ago posted by Slyfox about how many Freepers were once liberals, and how they were "awakened" from it.
I used to be a big time Deadhead growing up. Nuclear Disarmament, Farms Not Arms, the whole berkeley scene. But then I got a job, got married and bought a house. And then....Clinton happened..
And that's quite normal. The thing is, you had a healthy development and grew out of it.
I used to think we could feed the whole world and I belonged to a group called "Arms Race Concern." And I participated in an Equal Rights Amendement march. (Good grief!)
You're allowed to be young and stupid in the college years.
As long as you outgrow it. ;-)
"If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain."
