    But Platt,

    QUOTE - "entrenched liberal position"
    DQ *IS* Liberal (within its framework)

    You identify real issues with real societies to date, but imposing illiberal
    Static sets of values on them (intellectual or traditional / theistic) isn't
    the answer to fix 'em.
    Let the DQ work its "magic" ;-)
