I was tempted to open today's bit with something along the lines of "have you ever known from the outset that an idea was doomed to failure?"

I think you’re too kind when you say they have the best of intentions. These people hate western society, want it dismantled, and their actions go directly to that.
I cannot recall even once having to eat my words when critical of leftist policy. Their track record remains flawlessly untainted by success. One can only admire the Sisyphean ardor with which they move on to the next "problem".

Some are indeed as you note. Others, though, really do have good intentions. Their great fault lies in shallow thinking or no thinking at all.
