Give Them a Little Time

      soft and spoiled
         devices well-oiled

      spoonfed babble
         in protests, they dabble

      convictions untested
         by reality bested

      today’s mudslingers ~
         tomorrow’s right-wingers

It's a given, John. At 20, a raving liberal; at 40, solidly conservative; at 60 grumpy curmudgeon...
