“People Do Go Both Ways” – The Scarecrow

We’ve all observed how our political philosophies evolve as we age.

There are people, even the brightest amongst us, who try to oversimplify this concept, e.g., Winston Churchill’s “If you’re not a liberal when you’re young, you have no heart.  If  you’re not a conservative when you’re an adult, you have no brain.”

It got a lot of hurrahs at the time, but is it in anyway accurate?

We all know that the truth here is far more complicated.

Some people mellow, others harden.
