Thanks very much for the link, Nicola. Had I written an actual response to you, it would have been (or I would have wanted it to be, anyway) something like Todd’s at Exit Cave Right. Granted, I’m a very simple person, but I’m not convinced you or anyone has to justify conservatism with too much highfalutin talk — I’m really not anti-intellectual, but in the realm of something like politics, where the participation of the so-called average person ought to be welcomed, I’m just not sure how useful all the philosophizing is. “We can’t be sure of what will happen in the future, so we don’t let go of what brought us to the present, nor jump too quickly onto any new bandwagons, until we’ve really thought about it” is kinda pedestrian, but I don’t think that’s a point against it.

@Ric: Having read the longer version of your comment at Chasing the Norm: Uh, yeah, I think you’ve confused “virtue” with “prudence,” dog.

…virtue … has to be valued and sought after by the individual, not simply a pattern of behaviour forced upon an individual if they are to survive and participate in the community.

Bullshit. Unless you define “virtue” as the behavior of a predator.
