Goal 1: What's mine is mine, and nobody should be able to take it away from me.
Goal 2: We have an obligation to our children and our grandchildren, to leave them a decent world to live in.
What is this supposed to be an example of?
There are ways these are not in conflict, if conflict is the point, since conservatives understand economics in terms of the generation of wealth by free enterprise, which leads to all around economic growth, which benefits everyone, which leads to a better future for children and grandchildren, while welfare type thinking is going to impoverish both individuals and the nation. Social security is soon to collapse, for instance, and leave our children and grandchildren with nothing.
I think these concepts are way too broad for purposes of this discussion anyway. I think we need some narrow examples, person to person disputes perhaps. What is the ideal resolution for instance of a dispute over a property line, where somebody's tree is overhanging someone else's yard. Something on that level anyway.
{edit: OK they were to be examples of goals that are both right yet in conflict. I'm showing how they are not necessarily in conflict, but I still think "goals" gets us away from the topic.
