I think I would've been about a -5 -5 when I started here; plus I was 18 and from Davenport Iowa; I thought Miss. would got to the Democrats and I supported Dean but then changed to Edwards at the last moment.
I think both what has been known of me on the forum has changed, but also myself-i'm a lot less informed about America (and less anti-american; i'm not pro-Australian instead), i'm a lot less economically pragmatic, and i'm socially not as liberal as I was. On core issues, I'm still a hardcore leftist, but on pretty much everything but a handful of issues, in economics and social terms, i'm pretty close to the center. Also, in foreign policy i'm now pretty much a hawk re: Australia's interestes, although I do think the US military is engaged too much and that too much is spent on it. Read my first 10 posts or so 
Well of course you changed a lot. Your whole persona when you started here was fake.
Boss Tweed also changed a lot; he went from being 38 to being 13 (I still think he's 38).
And opebo changed his whole persona also, only in his case, unlike you presumably, the new one is the fake one.
