Its probably much older than that.

As to the relationship of liberalism/conservatism to human age or development. It is clear there is a definite correlation with educational level with the break favoring liberal values increasing with education level. Ever wonder why universities are so liberal? Where did it start? Answer: it has been that way for centuries.

As far as the Supreme Court goes: age on the bench has usually manifested itself in increasingly liberal decisions. There are exceptions of course, but many justices become more liberal and it is not as it is popularly written because of the “hydraulic pressure” of the east coast media and academe. We as humans, tend to become more humane: less rule-driven and more caring and communitarian, and this tends to break toward liberalism. Of course, counter examples exist: Justice Hugo Black being the most famous. It may be that there is a statistical turn toward conservatism that starts very late in life, in the late seventies and eighties.

I am surprised that you heard the J.S. Mill quote that way, maybe it’s the company you keep!

What we really have here is a clear example of what happens when you don’t ban braying jackasses from election to the Oklahoma Legislature.

I completely agree, Mespo, but regrettably, I couldn’t vote to keep THIS braying jackass from election to the Oklahoma Legislature, as much as I would have loved to. I think it’s illegal to vote in OK, when one isn’t a resident of that state.

I heard that same thing years back but always thought it was “Although it is not true that all liberals are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are liberals.”

Of course you have heard the old one “if you aren’t a liberal in college you don’t have a heart and if you aren’t a conservative when you are an adult you don’t have a brain.”

This ignorance comes from the same kind of minds who find women unworthy of driving. Another “talk like a pirate day”–ARRGG maties!

And “regulating” (I assume you mean by restricting or even banning some forms of it) free speech would eliminate the problem of rabid homophobia and other forms of extreme intolerance in our lawmakers and legislators in government….how, exactly?
