Idealism? For me, it died when my parents were interned and stripped of their citizenship for the crime of looking like the enemy. Mom’s service as a nurse, and Dad’s heroism on the battlefields of Italy and France, along with all his brothers throughout America’s ‘Good War’, counted for nothing.

To quote Dad, “Idealism is for those who have never faced the true ugliness of mankind.”

You know what, a week after watching the movie I still feel the same way. I am a huge Batman fan – one man, who struggles with his own anguish over losing his parents to crime and just realizing that the city needed SOMEONE to stand up to the downward spiral.

He may not be glamorous and liked by all, but he gets the job done. And I wholeheartedly agree with you about the “how much do we actually get accomplished?” thoughts – but you know what? I bring to mind the people who have had their lives changed because of a simple ad, a campaign watched on TV or a piece of information that I have passed on which has touched somebody’s life. It may sound cheesy but the “if at least one life gets changed” motto rings true everyday for me.

The forces to minimize idealism and “good” in the world are always going to be there, we just have to be prepared and willing to suit up and use the great tools we have now, just like Batman does 🙂
