    Platt, DMB,
    Given the other "logic" thread I've got going,
    I'm not sure I should start another argument here ... But I will.

    "Wisdom" of the ages is very important,
    but, actually it is the antithesis of "conservatism"
    What conservatism "restores" is the convention / paradigms of the past,
    not its wisdom, 'cos it's easier to manage / argue without wisdom.

    Wisdom is pure DQ - anathema to a conservative.

    Ian
