There are many elements that just were not there when I was younger. That's where I think I lean more towards liberalism having grown away from me, than me away from it. I have not changed that much, but liberalism sure has.

I hear where your coming from Jeff... Coming from a VERY conservative background, I could substitute the word 'conservative' for 'liberal' in your paragraph above, and it would describe my point of view these days. IMO, both extreme positions are the roots of our seemingly dysfunctional political system.
