trying to grok

Man, I love Larry Elders.

There's a lot of constructive and destructive things to say about Larry Elders. Instead I'll just write out dictionary definitions.

Liberal - 1. abundant, ample, 2. giving freely, generous, 3. open minded, 4. not strict or rigorous, 5. for the general broadening of the mind, 6. favouring moderate politcal and social reform.

Conservative - 1. adverse to rapid change, 2. moderate, avoiding extremes, 3. (of an estimate, etc.) purposely low, 4. tending to conserve

Oxford dictionary puts the most important meaning of each word (in modern English) first.

All of this confirms my suspicion that dictionaries are useless.
