I think I have taken the term Progressive too literally.    I didn't know the label had eugenics attached to it, or was seen as a political label.

I would have thought Kitzhaber was "progressive" for instance, y/n?    Progressive might mean being adaptive to ever changing circumstances — a very real benefit to human survival.  

Ayn Rand was a firm believer in eugenics and not shy about it.   Ayn Rand is a Progressive then?   Isn't she a darling of Conservatism?

I"m honestly not sure this is balanced, but it's interesting.    It's pretty clear that both women have been stereotyped  in the image of modern liberal/conservative split, not on the full facets of their lives.    

Stereotypes are the foundation of bias and prejudice.
