It is a mistake to suppose that the public wants the environment protected or their lives saved and that they will be grateful to any idealist who will fight for such ends. What the public wants is their own individual comfort.
That is a quote from the book The Gods Themselves by Asimov. In the book it's said by a politician.
In today's world it not only applies to the environment, but to the vast issues with our struggling economy. Most agree, at least those with half a brain, that our out of control government spending is on the verge of flushing this country down the toilet. Inevitably they also want their favorite program spared from the ax. Therefore the socialists will always control at least 2 of the 3 branches, and as a free prosperous country we are doomed.
