Convention of States
- Accept that people grow and change. Rejoice in it. It is an unfortunate characteristic of our body politic that we tend to tag anyone who changes his or her position on an issue as a flip-flopper – or assume that the alleged “change” is really just political posturing.This tendency fails to account for the fact that it really is possible for us, as human beings, to grow, mature and even completely reverse our thinking, particularly on public policy issues. This capability is a good thing. We should welcome it; not ridicule it.
