I have read Lewis and Clark described as romantic idealists. I guess you approve of them?

"So make your contribution by getting rich. Don't be an idealist."

I guess we're both glad Lewis and Clark didn't follow the line of thinking that Mr. O'Rourke advocates. Idealists are not merely irritating gadflies, they also help move the world "forward" [I put forward in quotes since it is a subjective term].
