I have changed my mind several times in the past.
I still consider myself left of centre and a "liberal", but my opinion on certain topics change as I grow older, learn more, experience more etc.
For example, I originally supported the invasion of Iraq (unlike the vast majority of my friends and, to be honest, the world outside the US) because I believed what Blair told the British public. I never trusted Bush and it turns out I was right. Now, I think the war was a mistake, a cynical extension of Bush's personal politics onto the world stage and something that has caused more harm than good; and removing Hussein (WMD's or not) was inarguably a good thing.
That's just one example.
If your opinion can't be changed, especially in the face of facts or personal experience, then you're a silly person.
