I voted change is good. I have no idea what the poll has to do with the thread title.
I thought the nexus was congruent, change can be for good or bad, we know it is scary and can be dangerous. Thus, which word on first blush describes how the reader sees change? It goes with are you a conservative, since support for tradition and slow cautious change are generally included in most definitions of the word conservative.
Correct.
The fundamental component of reactionary conservatism is the fear of change; the fear of diversity, dissent, and the unwarranted belief that change poses some sort of a threat to the conservatives special interests.
Are you a conservative?
Change is
* Good
* inevtable
* Scary
* Dangerous
What does any of that have to do with conservatives?
We shouldn't however change our laws to accommodate change. For instance I wouldn't consider changing our DUI laws if we somehow had a growing number of drinkers in our society. Same applies to laws regarding narcotics. Don't relax the laws because more people are using drugs.Change is indeed inevitable, but it doesn't mean that change needs to be abrupt. Abrupt change results in social instability. Thus, any change should maintain rule of law and existing traditions within our society.
Change needn't be abrupt though sometimes it is necessary; sometimes the law is wrong and existing traditions too (Jim Crow laws, blue laws are examples).
The poll question and voting options are all meaningless.
SOME change is not just good, but great.
OTHER change is not good at all.
Thus, some change is "scary." Some is dangerous. Some is wonderful. Etc.
Here's an equally silly and meaningless "question:"
Are you "against" calories?

We fear change. Of course. That totally explains why we want to reform entitlements, because we are scared to. That totally explains why we want to change the tax code to make it treat people equally, because we are scared of change. That totally explains why we want to eliminate corruption and overreach of government powers, because we are afraid of change.
One of these days, you guys are going to be required to think. I seriously hope you dont hurt yourselves when you do.

Some calories are good, some are bad, yet a calorie is a calorie is a calorie. Thus, my meaningless poll question requires a bit of thought, something usually absent in glib comments.

No no. YOU actually grasped a point. There's a first time for everything.
A question about calories being "good" or "bad" is meaningless absent context. If you are starving, empty calories are damn good. If you are a fat fuck, empty calories can be very bad.
Similarly, without context, your question about "change" is just as meaningless.
You actually GOT the point. I'm proud of ya.
Your glib but empty OP stands revealed for what it is; and you at least admit it.
I knowed you was good people.I want a liberal definition of conservative first that does not include the following:
1. Jesus freak
2. Fag hater
3. Racist
4. Terrorist
5. Trailer dweller
6. Confederate
7. Low IQ primate
8. Gun nut
9. Dude with engine block hanging on tree
10. Some guy with an AC air conditioner in the back of his truck window.
Ooops, looks like I qualify for 2, 6 and 8.
That would explain why you wish to relive the Dark Ages.
If he wanted to relive the Dark ages, he would vote for progressives.
The dark ages the christian glory daysl

Thinking is absent in most of your posts. Consider (if you can) the intended consequences and unintended consequences of the examples in you post. Include the variables, both dependent and independent of such a change.
You might want to read up on who ruled the Dark Ages? They weren't progressives, but they would have burned you at the stake for saying so.That would explain why you wish to relive the Dark Ages.
If he wanted to relive the Dark ages, he would vote for progressives.

I once tagged you as LIEability, before you welched on the bet. Now I'm beginning to wonder if you are less mendacious but touched by a bit of narcissism. Not on the level of PC, but ...
Admit that you ignored how I framed the question ("on first blush").
