There is a temperamental difference between whether on balance we are hostile to change, or friendly to it. As we get older most people probably tend to move in the direction of being suspicious of change.

But it doesn't coincide with political differences in any consistant way. Unless we think the world is perfect there are always going to be some things we want to see changed; and unless we think it is totally screwed up, there are always going to be some things we want to porotect from change.
