Old vs young.

Older people who position themselves on the political left are far easier to talk to than younger people.

I was talking to a dude who is north of fifty, who is probably a Bernie supporter, the other day.

He said that it seemed to him that Stand Your Ground laws simply mean that you can shoot people over property.

It only took me ten minutes to convince him that Stand Your Ground didn't mean that, and that it simply puts the burden of proof back on the state.

He agreed with that.

If he were younger than me, with the same ideas, he'd probably freak out at the simple challenge.
