I Know I'm Going to Regret This...

I know my own distrust of slogans and group reaction and such. It's why politics inevitably makes me think I'm about to break out with a rash. But honestly, isn't the phrase "the world as it is and the world as it should be" just great?

Even though I support 'em (and if I didn't before, the conversation with my uncle would have assured it: I'd vote for someone for spite), I know when it becomes bumper-stickerized (or whatever the word is), I'm going to almost instantly hate it the way I hate things like "thousand points of light" or "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."
