Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.To conserve is a good attitude when you regularly review past decisions and check that you have reached the best and kindest solutions. However ALL variables impinging on the problem should be reviewed and not just those that will keep the rich in power but concentrate on the less able and poorer sections of society who find it difficult to express their needs coherently.
Some conservatives have NO IDEA about their needs.
,,of course I would have always to agree to conserve nature.
The answer is not to be afraid change but examine all its facets,
Science is tailor made for that . Social science a hard pressed industry.

Meh...kind of biased. In reality Conservatism is a good thing...being extra cautious about changing laws, etc.
The "Conservation" movement seeks to do just that with the environment - keep it pristine.
The problems arise when the #religulous adopt the "Conservative" strategy and ignore our growth and the horrible way we are abusing our environment -
- in the name of "Conservatism".
Go to the group "Conservative agnostics"...kind of an oxymoronic group.
Join...if you dare!

I looked at that group. I can't deal with some of their conspiracy theory crap. MAGA tRump B.S.
When Obamacare (passed without a single Republican vote) first kicked in, I was paying $300/month for HSA insurance for a family of 4.
Now after 10 years of "Affordable Care", I'm paying $800/month just for myself for the same insurance.
Meanwhile,United Healthcare has increased it's stock market valuation by about $450,000,000,000
A better definition of Conservatism would be "An attempt to prevent the Democrats from bankrupting America and every single American"

Well, the above "reply" by BD66 gets the Award Of The Day for Non Sequitor, and it isn't even noon yet........
BD66:
@annewimsey1 non se·qui·tur - a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement..
He proposed a definition of Conservatism.
I proposed a better definition of Conservatism.
Your claim that my statement was a Non Sequitor was fine example of a non se·qui·tur.
I applied the term non se·qui·tur correctly AND I spelled it correctly. You did neither.
@BD66 you related a personal tidbit, period.
BD66:
@annewimsey1 Multiply the personal tidbit by many millions of people who were screwed by Obamacare, and you can see how United Healthcare was able to take its market cap from $45 Billion to $495 Billion.
You're 10 years older so it would have been more without Obamacare. You probably had a group insurance from work before for the 4 of you. And are you 65 years old yet
I doubt that you're telling the whole truth
Obamacare does not set the price of the insurance policies, it's a law that makes the insurance companies cover you for all illnesses without limits on your coverage. They can't exclude you for preexisting conditions and they have to cover a minimum standard of care. So your BS soliloquy has no credibility.

And many nations are increasing their life span while America isn't.

BD66:
@Robecology So we are in agreement that the Democrats "Affordable Care Act" was a spectacular failure?
@BD66 Sorry - no.
Not according to a list of published attorneys;
"The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law in March of 2010 and despite repeated attacks, not only has it survived – it has thrived, and continues to provide tens of millions of Americans with access to health care coverage.
Read for yourself;
@BD66 [healthcare.gov]. FYI!
based on how much you claim to make, you never would have been covered by Obamacare, so were you lyng then or lying now?
