“Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality the cost becomes prohibitive.” — William F. Buckley, Jr.
(Spoken like a true conservative! Surprisingly, this is the first William F. Buckley Jr. quote since I’ve been posting these spoilers. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
Isn’t this pretty much what politicians do, anyway ?
They do what will work, not necessarily what is right ?
I don’t know about “what is right”, lwc. But, they do make certain promises that are usually almost always impossible to keep, so they make “compromises”. — YUR
“compromises” !
I think that’s the right word. They’re pretty much ‘compromised’ as soon as they enter office. And, that’s just the way it is.
