    Nah. I’m 47 and if anything I’m further to the left than I used to be. For example, I never supported Israel, but I was also tempered by my dad’s and grantparents’ fervent support of Israel (they Jews in Britain during WWII, waiting for the Nazis to come over and throw them into a camp, so I can’t blame them) to not criticize them like I should have. The older I got and the further away I got from their influence, the more vocal my opposition became.
