kyburgOkay, it's Berkeley - yah yah, I hear you. However, they do produce some damn fine scholars - just like any other accredited learning facility -
He's discussing the language of liberalism and conservatism and the differences between the two - good stuff, all around.
I'm also of the belief that of the two groups, "liberals" tend to be more curious about the world around them and take it apart more readily, without condemning the component parts. I'm finding people who consider themselves "conservative" often quote other conservatives instead of telling their own story and how they came to it. I get a lot of doses of "conservative" in my day, though - if you never known a Jain, holy cow. That's a learning experience. The Swiss definition of a conservative would floor most Americans. Watch me around small children - you'd never guess anyone ever called me a moderate, let alone liberal. I like please, thank you and all the rest of the social niceties - and I reward lavishly for them. I'm also a big stick in the mud.
BTW, posting from home is a bitch. That is all.
