Older students and the liberal arts

[grauwulf]

In modern English it's pretty well known that someone on that far left is a "liberal" and someone on the far right is a "conservative." In common useage that's how we use those words when discussing politics.

By your own volition you are using the words incorrectly and my point is that this is (by definition) perpetuating ignorance.

You should understand that when you call somebody a liberal you are calling them 'open minded' & when you call somebody conservative you are calling them 'resistant to change'.

Is that 'a doctor', or 'your heart surgeon'? A Corvette or a car? A floor or a deck? Words have meanings for a reason, and ignoring those reasons doesn't make them go away, it just makes you wrong.

That's my point.
