My views have since changed. I was born a liberal but then don't all babies emerge from the womb with that inclination. As a teenager I wrote poetry; took trumpet lessons (don't ask) and volunteered for all sorts of causes, from The United Farm Workers to the Audubon Society. Now this doesn't necessarily shout liberal but I was beginning to think the world revolved around me that the world owed me and so I became jaded and cynical. I could see, I needed to change. Gradually, I went through a metamorphosis. I could see that in actuality many of my views were more conservative in nature. I am pro- Jesus - in all His teachings; the whole died for my sins; resurrection; eternal life and reaching out to others; which needs lots 'o' work deal; pro-life; small government; no income tax; individual responsibility for my happiness; balanced budget; etc. It doesn't mean that I don't have my causes but they are a little more realistic in my expectations a little more tempered if you will. As long as I remain alive on this very imperfect planet of ours I will need forgiveness,growth and human outreach. I am not perfect, just ask my husband and the dog.
