We have screwed ourselves and who knows how many future generations with this type of anti idealism.

Right on. I bet those responsible for this fiasco LOVE to see the constant partisan bickering and squabbling that subtracts the attention from them!
In fact they're probably feeding it as we speak, by going to one side and whispering sweet poisons into their ears while pointing at the others, then crossing over to the other side to do the exact opposite same.
It reminds me of this joke I heard once regarding why it was that Third World crabs always seem to get eaten while First World crabs always seemed to escape that grim fate.
The joke goes that after the fisherman throws the First World crabs into his bucket, they all escape helping each other climb out by cooperating in forming a ladder while the Third World crabs always stayed trapped because they spent all their efforts in trying to pull each other down.
Gentlemen, we are now the 3rd World crab.
