Thought for the Day

The division of the world into "liberal" and "conservative" . . . is one of the really restricting developments that has ever happened to us. . . It has to be , we are told, either this way or that. Such a view makes things very simple, I suppose. But it also reduces our minds to utter fuzziness. We are required to define everything as either liberal or conservative even when the two allowable terms of definition are not adequate to explain the reality that they are intended to describe.
