I suspect most of the Mail and Guardian journalists could switch papers

Melanie Phillips did just such a switch, although switching from left to

Not surprising really. The older you get the more you see how the world
really works and gain a better understanding of human nature and peoples real
motivations. Idealism rarely survives a long term encounter with life.

I think it has more to do with the fact that old'uns tend to have, while
young'uns tend to have not. Smash the system loses its appeal as soon as
you become the system.
