Hi Craig Weinberg That's the old guilt argument. It's as old as Robin Hood and is just as likely to stay with us as it works.

My hero, Calvin Coolidge, the arch conservative of all time, once said, "Don't just do something.....Stand there." That's great if you are already standing on top of a mountain of inherited privilege. Why not stand there? But why should anyone other than the ruling minority of the world be compelled to agree?

Dear Roger, No, All that is different between them is where their respective utopias lie. Liberals yearn for a future utopia on Earth, conservatives pine over their utopia in the past. I would agree with that, but the thing is, the former may or may not be possible but the latter is certainly impossible. What is there better to do than to try to push civilization in the direction of a future utopia? What could be more destructive and foolish than to try to undo what has happened and put future back in a box?

They should listen more to each other and stop the childish recriminations,demonizing and tribalism, IMHO. -- Onward!
