Are you really implying that this is not only as good as we get, but as good as we can or should get?

Progress of society is exactly that - progress. How can you say we should not progress? Should we also call a halt to learning anything new, of exploration of places never been, and the attainment of goals unachieved?

Methinks you perhaps did not mean exactly what you said.
Methinks we have different ideas of what social means.

Of course science and technology are ever-progressing things, I was referring to the social engineering liberals subscribe to.

The liberals among us are holding true to their origins and are trying to change the basic fabric of society. Only this time political correctness, historical revisionism, abortion, socialism in all its forms, anti-religious stances, governmental dependency, euthanasia, amoral science, minority apologism, and of course changing the definition of the family unit are all in their bag of tricks.

It is my not-so-humble opinion that the liberal mindset which includes all of the above is not progressive - but regressive.

It is the liberal mindset that if social ills are not apparent, they exist nonetheless.

It is my opinion that the days of positive and needed liberalism are over. We dont have slaves, women are free, the rule of law is strong. Of course there are exceptions but our society in the western world doesn't have any major social problems except liberalism itself.

In short: Its not broken anymore, quit trying to fix society with harmful socialist policies.
