21 Pleasures We've Forgotten

To the list I would add -

Quora Question:What are some values of liberalism that conservatives need to integrate or reintegrate into their core ideology?

Quote of the day "...the modern left has abandoned liberals who want to reform society to make it more inclusive to everyone. Instead, they want to punish anyone on the "wrong side of history" and destroy the institutions necessary for our shared prosperity as a means of balancing history's scales." by Jon Davis, American Conservative If people haven't been paying attention, modern conservatives, as in the new wave of younger conservatives, make up several distinct but complementary ideological groups. There are right-leaning libertarians, more ancient paleoconservatives, and even classical liberals.

You don't put the trash out at the corner, but contract with the garbage collector to pick up the garbage in your yard, with some sort of contract that the garbage is still yours until properly incinerated, and the collector would dispose of it in a way that guarantees privacy - incineration.
