Surprisingly,

I favour Gorbachov - or as he referred to the TienMeng Square people - "Hot Heads".

Like, Deng Xiao Ping - I'm a pragmatist.

But when it comes to change, I prefer evolution. I'm conservative.

That is a surprise because evolution is progressive. Evolution wouldn't be very pragmatic if it was regressive.

Evolution is not progressive.

Eyeball, do you know the origin of the word "progress"?

Henry VIII and his court/entourage travelled - they progressed.

Evolution isn't actually very progressive at all.  In fact progressive ideology tends to be an effort to minimize the harm done by evolution.

Evolution says those who can adapt and are most fit for their environment thrive and those who are not wither and die. The progressives would hate that

If there were a H-Bomb, a meteor - if we screwed this up - I suspect that some life form form would survive.

Is that progressive?

People like Obama refer to the "arc of justice" as if it is natural.

I strongly disagree.
