For sustainable change to take place, change must be gradual and "rooted in the institutions of society." In tracing the contours of such Burkean thinking, Kirk referred to "that aspect … which is prepared to tolerate an old evil lest the cure prove worse than the disease."
To Kirk's contention that "true freedom can be found only within the framework of a social order," I'd wager that in my former homeland, South Africa, this bulwark against barbarism has collapsed. In my new homeland, America, the framework that sustains the country's ordered liberty is so rapidly being eroded, so as to be near collapse.
