politics - the subject of grumpy old people?

politics.
i mean typically we all have jack shit of a say in it aside from
casting a vote.
and sure we can promote memes to perhaps push a few "young" swing
voters into wondering which side is gonna provide cheaper gas and save
the planet, etc.

I never thought I was wrong when I was young. Now I am old and
grumpy I am even more convinced that I was and still am right. But
that is my first person perspective. I allow others with different
perspectives to differ.
Does that make me a Democrat, a Republican or an Undecisive?
Can one make a policy out of indecision and going with the flow?

I thought I was right when everyone told me I was wrong, now the
science tells me I am and was right, mainly about evolutionary
psychology and cognitive therapy, the former caused fist fights and
the later got snickers from Freudians and gestaltists.

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one
When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for
blue-blooded girls
Of the independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
But now the days are short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my
life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
It poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

Luverly, luverly.
But there is a huge gap betweeen thirty five and the 'autumn of the
year". I am into December and still have a story to tell, though not
as poetically as you. :-)

If you're young and not liberal you have no heart. If you're old and
are liberal you have no brain.

i guess that makes you a lifelong supporter of wherever you imagine
your ideas stand.
i'm not sure thats possible really but i think it would make you feel
an overall honestly about yourself.
go Sheffield Wednesday!

I used to support Tranmere Rovers and Liverpool when they entered thr
Fist Division-- way, way back. BTW what is the origin of Wednesday in
your team's name? Often wondered!!
