Most people I know become better as they age, even if the change is slight (i.e. wholly bad people rarely turn to good people just because they get older).
Certainly, I'm a much better person than I was ten years ago. That might just be reversion to the mean, because I was somewhat of an asshole.
- vidarh 13y agoEven if the get better, some of them might get the power and time to do stuff that more people will consider bad. I have no idea if Dick Cheney got better or worse with age, for example, but being VP under Bush certainly gave him a far better opportunity for stuff people disliked about him to be noticed.
