Can't wait. Please do tell.>>

The liberal philosphy is based on science and reason. The conservative philosophy is based on myth and script.

In the last century every single major movement was lead by liberals and fought against by conservatives:

Because, as Will Durant said so eloquently in his tomb The History of Civilizaiton:

"The persistent effort to subordinate fancy (myth-religion) to reason is the dominate quality of the Greek mind
Ergo, Greek literature is modern, or rather contemporary, we find it hard to understand Dante or Milton, but

Euripides and Thuscydides are kin to us mentally and belong to our age.

This is because though myths may differ, reason remains the same, and the life of reason, makes brothers of
its lovers, in all times, and everywhere."
