Default Re: Logic, Math, and Politics

[ QUOTE ]
I curious to know what people in this forum have to say about a recent discussion in the politics forum.

Liberals are regularly criticized for not having any fundamental principals. In contrast, conservatives have an ideological viewpoint that is based in moral absolutes. Conservatives know what they want while liberals are constantly changing their position based on circumstance.

Let’s apply this logic to math class. I love the number 5. It’s always been my favorite number, ever since I was a little kid. How would I do in a math class where I refused to consider any answer but 5?

Is there any flaw in my logic that I’m not seeing?

I'm more liberal than conservative... but I think a good balance is best: change for progress, but cautiously for safety. Liberals seem to embrace change and diversity, conservatives embrace stability & uniformity. Too liberal becomes chaos. Too conservative becomes stagnant.
