Something from all this thinking has been rambling around in my head. The key word that keeps coming up is compassion. No matter what your politics, I don’t see how you can get away from it. If you think people should pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, okay, but what’s the value behind that? Either you think some people are genetically superior, or you think those values can be taught. If they can be taught, then you should be support public education.
I can’t figure what the critique of liberal is.
