DBL-CLICK WDS FOR DEF
 

To those of my readers who find many of my opinions morally, or politically, or sociologically antiquated (and I have reason to know that there are some such), I would like to say what I have already hinted, namely, that some of my opinions may indeed be subject to some discount on the simple ground that I am no longer young and therefore incapable of being youthful of mind.   But I will also remind them that I have ALWAYS been inclined to skepticism, to a kind of Laodicean lack of commitment so far as public affairs are concerned; so that, although not as eager as I once was to be disapproved of, I can still resist prevailing opinions.     At about the age of twelve I became a Spencerian liberal, and I have ALWAYS considered myself a liberal of some kind even though the definition has changed repeatedly since Spencer became a reactionary.
