We are maturing as a

As a nation we are getting older on the average.

While there does appear to be at least a small correlation
between age and maturity, in general if you are dumb/rash at 20,
you will dumb/rash at 30, at 40, etc. In general this is caused
by an inability or unwillingness to learn from our own mistakes,
if not the mistakes of others.

To be sure the society/economy does appear to reflect the age
change in demographics such as the shift in sales from
motorcycles and beer to walkers and viagra.
