    If you can’t win, you have to resist.

    I don’t think getting older necessarily mean you become conservative. I reckon many people conflate with looking for stability with capital “c” Conservatism. I certainly understand now what one means by looking to settle down. But it would not make me fiscal conservative; become a pro-lifer; religious; or traditional.

      It made me fiscally conservative in the sense of “maybe I should save this for little GopherOwl Jr’s college fund not blow it at a nightclub.” It didn’t make me fiscally conservative as in “I don’t care if they starve to death, cut my taxes!!!”
