Truth Teller #7 Edmund Burke. I will throw conservatives a bone here by quoting the father of modern conservatism. I think his observation that government is a pact between the dead, the living and the yet born is majestic, concise and true today as it was when he wrote the words in the late 1700s. But now that we have the power to wipe humanity off the planet, I believe the meaning of that truth has changed.
