John Stuart Mill


What did "Conservatives" mean in his day and usage?

Mill developed utilitarianism so that might help shine the light of truth. The greatest happiness principle is rhetorically proximate to collectivist thinking. IMO it is dangerous to accept the notion of leftist pansies like this making decisions for our greatest happiness. My definition of happiness is probably 180 degrees out from this clown. The timing of choosing Memorial Day weekend to drag this guy out from under his rock is intentionally done to keep us bitter clingers on the edge.
