'Stupid' referred to lists like that and their use; they reduce important issues to inaccuracy and useless oversimplification.

Nice generalization in your first post, then denial in your second one.

It was a similar laundry list that wouldn't be fair to aim at liberals - that's what I pointed out. Guess I could have just pointed it out. :p

Then say what you mean. "Stupid" does not mean "reduce important issues to inaccuracy and useless oversimplification".

BTW, much of that list is the platform of the repubican party, the self-professed "conservative" party. I think it pretty closely reflects "conservative values".

but it is better to let a murderer go free than put an innocent man in jail.

The thought question attached to this is that if I let all accused murderers go, I could truthfully claim that I had never once put an innocent man in jail. There is always a degree of doubt in regards to innocence or guilt in court.

I would also say that any system that attempts to totally eradicate success of the fittest as well as environmental pressures will eventually crumble. We are subject to the laws of nature as well.
