Free In Idaho! Forget About Utopia

And all complain that the country is all screwed up because it doesn’t look enough like their ideal.  Heinlein, Rand, Marx, Mao, Robertson, Dobson, Roosevelt, Obama. … it doesn’t matter whose vision you choose, you will never realize the perfect system or the perfect government.  It cannot possibly exist.  Human beings are broken.  The political process will never answer that.  The legal system cannot change that.  There is no right party, or right candidate, that will make it all good again.  They cannot.  Nor will winning the lottery, or guilt-free disease-free sex, or anything else human beings think is valuable.  We have met the enemy/BillH, Free In Idaho! More here.

Question: Have you been disenchanted by a political party or cause?
