That would be my own bias showing through. I was trying to be even-handed, but that's hard to do. There are advantages to conservatism, in that you can expend your efforts on a smaller group and possibly be more likely to get the effect that you want than when you're trying to effect a much larger group.

Again, I personally believe that many conservative people tend to be too stingy in the wide realm of things. I also believe that they don't see themselves that way, and they may not be. Many liberals tend to be too giving.

Obviously, no definition can encompass the almost completely subjective concepts of liberalism and conservatism that exist today.
