....yeah I did that specifically to avoid the horrors of having shrimpish entities launching an all-out attack on my person
....an old infirm person such as myself would simply be eaten alive by such an attack....nibble, nibble, nibble....very scary...
...that being said, yes idealism can be an exquisite tool, though one must always be very careful when applying it, it is best used only sparingly and when not in use it must kept under lock and key in a very secure place...and we should always keep in mind it has only a tangential connection to reality( which is its great strength and also its greatness weakness )...and always remember, it has, historically, in the wrong hands, been the primary fuel that has fired almost all the most horrific abuses men have perpetrated on other men....( so?...did I pass the test?...)
...when you have a spare moment, or two, you may want to, if you haven't already, read Sir (Saint?) Thomas More's Utopia, and when you do, pay special attention to the last page...a great read....highly recommended....
