So much for brotherhood! Those who did not support it years ago, are hypocrites (msp, to many drinks) now!!! Only important becuase now it is THEM.
How many people in the 30's feel the same way about issues in their 60's? People change, due to circumstances or just their outlook about life, whether the subject is pensions or the weather.
