Conscience of a conservative

We passed the test for a conservative when we saw hazelnut coffee creamer which could have been used as an option to regular coffee creamer we use all the time to make 'milk.' But in unison, we (2 conservatives) never considered buying both creamers. First, hazelnut couldn't substitute for milk in recipies and second, buying two would cost more than one. The conscience of a conservative pricks one ( or two) to no extravagance or overspending.  After I think about this,  next week I might go whole hog and splurge.

Finishing  a lecture course about what Darwin didn't know, I would like to add to his ignorance this observation.  Bee swarms thwart sustainability.  If the hive must first perpetuate itself, why do they lose 1/2 of their workers following a queen to a new home?  Beats me! Spring is swarm season and sustainability is still the goal, like it or not.
