To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?
-- Hamlet
The difference between the extreme Conservative and the extreme Liberal is that the former's philosophy can be boiled down to "think and don't do," while the latter's philosophy can be boiled down to "Do and don't think."
They both have a point, of course, but it is unclear when which one is better called for, or if the long term consequences of either one will one day be more than the human species can survive.
Hell, we don't even know if "opposing them" will actually "end them," or if "opposing them" is the very thing that contributes the most to creating them.
