My graduate advisor once said to me - and he was in his 70s at the time - that "when you're young you're a democrat and when you're older you're a republican". I think the expression is also known as, "A democrat is just a republican who hasn't been mugged yet."
Well, this change in political party hasn't happened to me yet, but I was wondering if I'm becoming more behavioristic as I grow older. I remember when I was an impressionistic lad I was all over Maslow/Rogers theory. Now I've grown somewhat pessimistic about the efficacy of all that talk therapy and I wonder if changing our circumstances is, in the end, more important in our lives than all that talk. Thoughts?
