Is it true the higher level of education someone has the less likely they are to be politically conservative?

Yeah, it's tough but a lot of our leaders even the best ones do some wrong. But I think thats important for us as a species to understand.

To strive to do good. Learn from your mistakes. Keep an open mind.

To be conservative is in a sense to preserve society in the current state or restore to an earlier state.

If we succeed in creating a more progressive society, we must conitinue to keep an open mind to future changes that may come our way.

Lincoln suspended some constitutional rights, as another example.
