Idealism is one of the four great forces in society*. Sometimes you just need to take a stand, measure all comers against your position, engage in debate that shakes the very bedrock of nations and fills you with a passion that leads--or just drags--our sorry excuse for a species further and further into the future without sinking into the grey goo of moral relativism and situational ethics. Pick something to be idealistic about. Whether it is supply-side economics, standard transmissions, the designated hitter rule, paper vs. plastic or a full fifteen minutes of parking time for your quarter, the passion you bring to it will bring you fulfillment and respect. That, and if you can pull off a moody intensity, chicks will dig you. Trust me.
