"I tried to find the full quote and after ten minutes decided I'd risk it." <br /><br /> Indeed. perhaps you should be very careful, if you find risk in a link to a book. Now goats' is to be avoided, but the rest of the internet is safe, I checked. ;)<br /><br /> This is fragility on a rather serious level.

I tried to find the full quote and after ten minutes decided I'd risk it.<br /><br />I also have disliked the migrations of the words "liberal" and "progressive" over the years - elastic meanings to be used instrumentally rather than accurately. However, I want to be understood by the maximum number of people in the end.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-24681120331078366052020-11-02T10:10:11.334-05:002020-11-02T10:10:11.334-05:00From "Up from Liberalism" -- a whole boo...From "Up from Liberalism" -- a whole book to annoy me with the late 20th century USA use of the word 'liberal', which properly in my view describes Gladstonian economic and social policy views. <br /><br />And within that book from the chapter "The Liberal as Indoctrinator"<br /><br />https://www.google.com/books/edition/Up_From_Liberalism/wyEJDAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=The%20Liberal%20As%20Indictronator<br /><br />There are so many spurious quotes running around these days, and the presence of those dots for ellipsis in the middle of a quote is a <i>giant</i> red-flag to me.<br /><br />So my frequent reaction to free-ranging quotes online is to to drop a link to the source so that other readers can at least see the context. Even if, as in this case, the red flag can be put away.<br />Douglas2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11290012200563917585noreply@blogger.com
