The latter, Abundy. And would you describe yourself as a conservative in the sense of what that word meant in 1776--when the defining conservative theorist, Edmund Burke, argued that people were naturally born into social ranks that should and must be considered like castes, passed from parent to child forever?
I'm guessing not.
