The most irritating general political trend of the past five years or so
(probably longer, actually), is the idea that you should never change your
position on anything, ever. If you do, you are a weak flip-flopper who can't
be trusted because how do I know what you say is true?

Issues don't stand still and they're never as black-and-white as people say.
Circumstances will change, so why is it so bad that the responses of our
elected officials change?
