Maybe we should leave politics out of this mailinglist, eh?
"conservative learning theory" does not have much to do with
"conservative politics". Just because a plain English word is used in
a political context should not forbid us from using in other contexts,
IMO.
Tony's mail definitely introduced some political overtones, imo.
