Originally, the term was used in a political sense to refer to people we call libertarians today, before it was co-opted. But even in the "modern" political sense it doesn't mean "forward thinking" anymore than conservative means "backward thinking". Those would be definitions rooted in partisan politics, which again are a large part of the current problem. IronicFool posted... Any progress is a laudable achievement. Assuming "progress" is actually a forward step, yes. But not all "progress" is positive change, regardless of the incredibly deceptive mindset the US educational system tends to portray. The sum total of human history is not one destined foward march onwards and upwards to greater and greater perfection. Or to pull a previously overused phrase out of mothballs - not all "change" is GOOD change. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard! |
