"The theory being that all great things have already been built."

I think you are accusing me of something?

For two hundred years, in my area, farmers perfected the roofs and walls and basements and windows of their farmhouses. They were adapting to the climate and the available materials. The results were beautiful architecture.

Then, liberals, who hate anything old, come along and want houses with flat leaky roofs and huge Daffy windows, with fake stone and brick that goes out of style faster than ties. Sure, you can say it is cheaper to build them this way, but I know of many multimillion dollar houses that are UGLY, and CHEAP, INEFFICIENT.

The theory being that the past can provide us with more knowledge and wisdom than a bunch of liberal change-for-the-sake-of-change architects.

Or did I miss understand you?
