Okay, let's define ideology: Webster: "The teachings, beliefs of a person or group. or : "Systematic body of concepts esp about human life or culture."

It would appear that you have an ideology. We all do. The question, I think, is can we come up with an ideology - a way of looking at the world and structuring it - that we can all agree on. For instance. Should all people eat or just the people who can afford it? Should some children work 14 hours a day so that other children can get cheap clothes and toys? I might remind people that at one point the prevailing ideology was that blacks were animals, and such 'ideology' justified the structure of slavery.

I agree that we don't want to look to some utopian ideal and find ourselves disillusioned, but I think we can look at each option presented to us and determine, based on our 'ideology' what the practical response should be.
