A progressive is a forward thinking person - one to whom the future is important.A progressive is someone tolerant of people of all types - someone who realizes that everyone else's perspective is a valuable contribution to our culture, and not someone who thinks their views on politics and religion is the only valid view.A progressive values the rights of a society's citizens over those of its organizations, whether they be political, religious, social or mercantile.A progressive always keeps an open mind and will never deny good science in the favor of cultural myth.A progressive values health, education and the natural environment and seeks to improve these not to dismantle them.A progressive seeks societal progression, not regression.
