I try to make a dent in people when I can. I figure people drift toward liberalism at a young age, and I always hope that they change when they see how the world really is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I took the liberal view for many decades, but I believe I have changed my mind.
It's interesting that when economic times were the hardest, that's when many people embraced liberalism.
Liberalism is, I think, resurgent. One reason is that more and more people are so painfully aware of the alternative.
I grew up in a very liberal place.
I was raised in a time where children were still seen and not heard basically, so I think a lot of us in my generation went the other way and just tried to be as much more liberal and open and we're still paying for it.
I've always been very liberal when it comes to people thinking for themselves.
Liberalism is assisting quality of life, whatever you may choose.
The big breakthrough for me was, once I stopped disliking conservatives and could actually see what they were right about, they showed me a lot of things that liberals were wrong about. But at the same time, I think there are some things that liberals are right about that conservatives have trouble seeing.
Liberalism isn't change. It has to be imposed.
I try and open a few doors to the mind, encourage people to embrace change and to stretch their capabilities.
