At the very most, we can do more than just hope for the best, we can make goddamn sure we produce something good, never mind better or best. Nobody can predict the outcome of an inspired project, but one can always exert himself to help elicit reasonably beneficial, if not equally inspired, results from it. That's where we have always been weakest at. We're not afraid to risk life and limb to stop a tyranny from persisting, we're just too lazy to exercise life and limb to stop another tyranny from emerging. We like the heroic idea of dying for democracy, we just don't like the even more heroic idea of living for it.
