1/ favoring reform,
No comment
2/ Open to new ideas,
Any in fact, no matter how dangerous.
3/ Tolerant,

4/Not bound by traditional thinking.

You are arguing with a dictionaries definition~!

@averagejoe1 said
Tell us a system that can drive innovation other than capitalism?

Apply the 'aint broke dont fix it' adage to the real world of the USA. Of course some things are broke, need fixing. My example of the properly established border situation is a good example of a 'thing that aint broke'. The President screwed it up, really bad.
Now go ahead, I make a good point, you go lib on me and get off the track.
