One problem with conservatism

Worth pondering:

All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change.

G. K. Chesterton

Or, in other words, you can't step in the same river twice.
