quote [ Do you want to stop Donald Trump from rounding up Mexicans into camps? Try this: Encourage your idealistic, third-party-voting progressive and libertarian friends to drop their fantasies of an ideal, radically revised political and economic order and fight instead to protect what we’ve got. It’s the prudent thing to do, and it’s the principled move.
In a profound and persuasive new book, The Tyranny of the Ideal: Justice in a Diverse Society, the political philosopher Gerald Gaus shows that visions of political perfection are bound to lead us astray. ] Seems a surprisingly compelling argument to me, but I'd love to hear your opinions

Aticle looked interesting, and related to something that has ocured to me lately.could not get to in to it. Seemed too much like a sales presentatin. What seems obviouse ro me, the way things should be set up in society, are way different from the way most people think things should be. I am now a pensioner, and more interested in the pensions continuing and society not failing in a way that would take the pensions away or make worthless. I do my little bit when I can. Hope new people entering life have harm reduction as a tenet of their direction.
