Not on the topic of SS marriage but just on the &quot;young want change vs old vote to continue the past&quot; point.<p>As I&#x27;ve gotten older, one thing that I&#x27;ve consistently found is that the young want change. Always. Regardless of whether it&#x27;s beneficial, been tried before and negative consequences were seen, would only benefit certain people or negative outcomes long term are clearly visible: they want change for sake of change.<p>Older people have a lot more experience in observing human nature. There is a very big reason that the slogans around &quot;Wisdom comes with age&quot; and &quot;Young know it alls&quot; have existed for so long. They&#x27;ve been observably accurate.<p>It&#x27;s a lot easier to get people fired up about things that they don&#x27;t understand, because any contentious subject has two sides and the fire generally shows that you only understand one of them.<p>“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” - Mark Twain
