The only thing that will happen is the left will stop holding onto certain values or change. As long as society has existed there have always been "progressives" who want new values and "conservatives" who want a return to old values. And progressives always ultimately win because a return to "old values" has never improved a society. The other side of that argument is what constitutes progress? Not everything new is automatically better. Radical change comes in lots of forms and can be utterly devastating to civilisation. I see myself as a social liberal but even I'm scratching my head at some of the actions of would-be progressives that seems utterly totalitarian to me. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z316/CeliaOfTheSky/Pinky0926.jpg <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:877745630] in Jewish ath...
