People know that my politics stand distinctly right of center. What they don’t know is that I used to stand distinctly left of center. But my politics really aren’t any different now than they’ve ever been. What’s changed is the swinging pendulum of political thought. Today we’ve gone so far left, even old hippies like me can seem alt-right. (Not that I was ever REALLY a hippie. I washed and shaved too much. And spent my time reading and writing, not doping and listening to blaring music.
But your sons see ONE picture of you in bell bottoms wearing John Lennon glasses and you’re pegged for life.) I don’t understand why people have such a hard time dealing with change. I read a study once concluding that we all think whatever times were like when we were growing up is the way they should be forever. So we’re continually alarmed when anything changes.
Despite our amazing intelligence as a species and the fact that the only constant in our lives IS change!
