Pardon me if I find it a little bizarre that we would compare the
societal
values of 21st century civilization, with the societal values of 1776.


Specifics?



Specifically, your previous post.... you are comparing today's
"conservatives" as less conservative than 1776 "liberals". By what
measure
can we compare two groups separated by almost 230 years of societal
differences, and with little in common in terms of the types of
opportunities, hazards, friends, enemies, etc...


Freedom.
