I disagree with Aravosis's suggestion that incremental change makes for the best politics. He rightly asserts that "conservatives understand that cultural change is a long, gradual process," but that's what makes them conservative: It doesn't make them right, and I cannot see advocating using them as a model if we are seeking a society where compassion for others is more salient than conservation of self.
