Do you agree or disagree with the author's perspective in the following quote? Provide evidence and an example that supports your view. Thank...

I agree with the quote wholeheartedly. Sometimes it takes
age and experience to recognize the differences between youthful vitality and
emotion, and a more mature overall outlook on the things of this world. As a youth, I
was vehemently opposed to the war in Vietnam, and I campaigned for George McGovern's run
for President. I have found that many of my views have mellowed in this regard. Although
I am opposed to war, I do see the necessity of our nation taking military action when
necessary (i.e., the U.S. invasion of Aghanistan). My liberal views have been tempered;
although I am a loyal Democrat, I did not vote for Bill Clinton (honesty issues)
or President Obama (lack of experience). At the same time, I recognize that our changing
world demands that we change with it. I find myself much more tolerant of opposing
viewpoints and radical change. I do my best to temper my nostalgic look back at "the
good old days" while realizing that many of today's changes have been for the betterment
of all.
