If you look for truth you may find comfort in the end if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin and in the end despair.

I am encouraged that there's going to be much better dialogue between the federal government and the state of Arizona. I mean I hope that's not wishful thinking.

Wishful thinking is not idealism. It is self-indulgence at best and self-exaltation at worst. In either case it is usually at the expense of others. In other words it is the opposite of idealism.
