Pipe Dreams

I spent much of the day listening to people pontificate on their notions of how things should be, without much direct understanding of how things are.

“A pipe dream is a fantastic hope that is generally regarded as being nearly impossible. The term derives from the opium pipe, which was popular in the early twentieth century. Such ideas usually need events to flow in just the right direction to be realized, as a plumbing pipe might. The probability of such a course, however, is extremely low. Misconceptions, obstacles unseen by the pipe dreamer, or simple ignorance of any issues involved are often disregarded.” - Wikipedia
