Thanks. I am idealistic. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, as it applies to the big picture. We simply
have to accept baby steps toward our ideals, instead of being an idealist (ie. Ron Paul) who will only accept the highest ideals (ie. end the Fed now).
It's blind optimism that clouds judgment. That's what I'm trying to avoid. Perhaps Obama will end up a jerk, too, but I don't think so. If you listen to him closely, there are coded messages. He states he will "change the way banks control Washington". Is that really very different from Ron Paul's plan?
It is hope that I'm clinging to. Hope for something better. I don't expect anything to change overnight, but at least Obama (for me) represents hope for a positive change. And hope for disclosure.
