I did a college term paper on "Bagehot:  A liberal-conservative".  The topic was chosen from a list of topics provided by the professor.    I mentioned in passing in the paper that the concepts of liberal and conservative were abitrary, but the professor didn't agree.  Incidentally, he was an extreme liberal.  At the time, I was a pro-life liberal.
