I have been that which was appropriate for every stage of life and I am grateful to have survived long enough to have gotten smarter because it is entirely normal to be an idiot when young.

I am certainly not a conservative and I am a strong supporter of the ideals of the Western Enlightenment. It is just the tragedy of human life on earth that history is a cycle and there is no permanent holding onto moments of time of unique wisdom.

I so agree. Our wisdom goes-away when we do and history repeats itself.
