For many of us the idea is of a kind of liberalism that does not (to steal from Rawls) doesn't base on any comprehensive concept, but rather on those ideas which we may all agree are valid. This approach requires that one accepts the plurality of outlooks that, in fact, seem to exist in any society. Therefore, it is only reasonable to expect socialists, not socialism, heterogeneity not homogeneity. If I were to propose what I think is weakest about the neocon/conservative outlook, I would say that it is their (previous) insistence on uniformity, i.e., they seemed to think that there was only one way to do anything. lately, that attitude does seem to be lessening also.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/38FFFA6C-BA39-41F2-A5E3-8C6D2E8B5D46/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
