Z, > You do realize there's a big difference between trying to improve people's lives and trying to create a utopia?

The question is whether you realize the difference.

Seeing the way you and Ted reacted to that story, I'm guessing that you don't. All you see is what the maintenance mechanic had to go through. The fact that his children don't have to suffer like he did, you and Ted would just call "the exception," not the result of his hard work and sacrifice.

Another classic from Nancy Pelosi, the woman you consider to be oh-so-wise:

> Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer or a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance.

Sounds like she too believes in utopia.
