Not to be glib, but this is the nature of "progress" - it changes things. ;)

We have made quite a few mistakes before which we thought was progress. Probably too many to mention, even, but as examples, I can think of the Dark Ages and Nazism. Mind you, I'm not saying modern liberal politics can be compared to these examples! I don't even known that much about history to be able to comment on them. It's just food for thought.
