Rather, we might imagine, to supplement the right-to-left line for political stances, a linearly independent vector for romanticism. Left romantics want to change people because they despair that systems can be changed or because they believe that systems will change to fit the change of people's needs. Left-unromantics (pragmatists?) want to change the system to change the man (or perhaps for more abstract reasons, justice, etc.). George Orwell, in his essay on Charles Dickens, recognized the trends, saying, "They appeal to different individuals, and they probably have a tendency to alternate in terms of time...
...Center for Educational Reform places the total of such institutions in the U.S. at 450; three years ago there were scarcely a dozen.

The family moved in and around St. Paul; for a time they had a 20-acre farm, raising tomatoes to supplement the meager family income. Burger and his brothers would splash in the pond of a hot summer's day, or pick ripe tomatoes and wolf them down after licking the skin so that the salt would stick...
...armed forces is forced to compromise his right to be a religious prophet, to speak out against the sins of the times, including morally questionable wars. Army Field Manual 16-5 makes it clear that the Army sees the chaplain's role as a military support mission: to "supplement and reinforce the total instruction of the troops in the Code of Conduct by his spiritual and moral leadership and his personal presence during combat and combat training." And as an officer, the chaplain is legally obliged to defend national policy...
