art, I tend to think that my presence alone is enough to affect change. It may not be huge change but the possibility exists. I'm going to go with Mephisto on this and say it's more or less the logical argument and realizing the my own position happened to not have enough or correct information.
An item to your point true is that I do try things differently from time to time just to see if I still dislike them, example foods that I did not like as a kid I do now, and vice versa. Every so often I will try something again and see if my palate has changed. Sometimes to my surprise it has changed, sometimes I still have dislike for it.
I agree with Mephisto that it's part of my learning lessons in life. Since I am the culmination of all my experience and years, if I pay attention I can see how I shared some of the more liberal viewpoints in my younger years with some of the young people of today.
as for Halx, yes we could do better, but I do think that it's hypocritical to try to (again simplified soundbyte) "fix the neighborhood before fixing your own house." By fixing my own house and encouraging others to do so leading by example, I fix the neighborhood.
