This issue created by CarnVir, defines and separates principled conservatives from those who
understand nothing of conservatism.
A foundation of Conservatism is decentralized authority which was birthed by Occam's Principle of Subsidiarity.
The foundation of the social order is the Family Unit.
As such, any matters involving authority/responsibility within that order are to be dealt
w/at their most immediate/local level consistent w/their resolution; starting at the lowest rank.
In simplest terms, problems should be resolved from the bottom up rather than the top down!
