or even ten or 20 years later. the degree of boldness and vision and willingness to gamble we underestimate today. that is also key legacy and lesson of bill buckley. we shouldn t expect shouldn t be utopian about what might happen but we shouldn t underestimate the chances for radical reform in a good direction either. we shouldn t be too practical. i think we know ahead of time the limits of progress in certain conservative or libertarian people and sensible constitutional and pro-american directions. in that respect bill s latitude if that is the right word about conservatism within certain limits and his willingness to change and take his guidance from the market, the political market and public opinion which may not be rice in its entire 8. very impressive and important lesson over 0.
