Are we Utopian?
The hard-core leftist is a utopist. The elimination of all risk is his goal. The risks of poor health, poverty, injury, social defects, violence, and general insolence are put on his list for total mitigation. Of course we know his goal is unattainable, but still he tries.
Are we not the same in some regard? I must be able to carry my gun on all private property. I must be able to carry my gun at the beach while wearing only swim shorts. I must have my gun within arm’s reach at all times no matter the activity. These are concepts that have been pushed on this and other boards, in the form of either questions or statements. The unstated goal seems to be the uptopia of having lethal force available at all times to repel attack.
Isn’t our (mostly) unrecognized quest for an idyllic state of affairs as unrealistic as the quest of the hard-core leftist?
