"moderate" is a cop-out. If you're a moderate now you would presumably have been a moderate 50 years ago. And the moderate of 50 years ago would be fringe today. The moderate of 100 years ago would be a radical today.
Don't surrender your reason to social contructivism.
- davidw 18y agoThat's not a bad point, especially where it comes to how we treat other people. Indeed, I am not a moderate in everything, clinging to the center. However, in terms of government intervention in the economy, I am, and I also think it's far too large and interesting, and nuanced of a subject to adequately cover it in these sorts of forum. It's best left to be talked about over a bottle of good wine.
