[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay: [QB] In my opinion the above about liberalism is incorrect. To use an example, I could define conservativism as "mean-spirited" at heart...but that would leave all objectivity aside and would therefore be wrong regardless of how much I may believe it. Rather, liberalism throughout history has always sought to embrace and nurture the progression of humanity and believes that society and education plays a role in such progression. Today's liberalism is no different. Further it recognizes that there are mitigating factors in the actions of people and groups of people. Just as a botanist understands that an ecosystem is formed by the interaction of a community of organisms with their physical environment and that each member of the ecosystem is reliant on the other members of the community for it's continued growth, so too is a human society. Moreover as an ecosystem can take years to recover after a major conflagration, a society does as well. No person is wholly dependant upon himself or herself. I think conservatism is all too ready to bury it's collective head in the sand and say it's not my problem; whereas liberalism understands that cultural ills are created by the group as a whole and is therefore all of our problems.
