Who Pays As They Wait For Our Ideals? by Anthony McCarthy
The all or nothing fixation, the worst kind of this idealism, is a form of self-satisfied preening.

And it has produced nothing. Nothing. Rigid, uncompromising and insistent idealism is sterile and useless in the real world. It would be better to call it what it really is, vanity.
