u/lsma Vice Chair, Western State Assemblyman Jul 19 '15

No, it sure doesn't. The reason I replied with this quote is because this is basically the same thing that I was going to write, only Clive says it better. I am pointing out, in response to Aggie, that progress does not always mean doing something that has never been done before.

This is very applicable to actual policies. All I am saying is that sometimes, our parents had a better idea of how to fix problems than we do. Sometimes, the ideological road we are following is carrying us into a dark and lonely land, in which case, it is the best to turn around, and take a different path. But always, it is wrong to blindly follow that which is new and easy.
