Or even a sensible prediction? I guess in this point of in time and too much change happening too fast, I think I am entitled to some doubt and suspicion – especially when it reeks too much of idealism (in my standards). Of course I would want the best in life as any other person or a citizen. But surely, questioning and placing such idealism into a practical environment is not wrong. I guess idealism has its purpose to set some things to right and all that but I think it also has its limits. Promises can mean two things – a promise to break for a politician and a promise to be fulfill in somewhat future to a voter. It’s just disheartening that when I put some ideas into question, I get told off by being so negative and scaing people just by asking. I will admit that I’m not an optimist at heart but I’m not also a person that give blind obedience or trust.
Am I being too much?is it too much to ask for a guarantee?

no, it's not to much to ask. i would at least want the best honest answer you could give me, if you couldn't give me a guarantee. sometimes there are no guarantees.

Bets honest answer...I could live with that but I tihnk I cannot identify a single politician who does that. I agree that some don't have guarantees but selling a concept that is hardly practical, backed by reaosn or evidence or even workable is,in my opinion, a sign of impeding disaster.

Though your intention is good in asking a guarantee; however, my suggestion to you is ask them in a polite manner so not to offend the one that you are asking it for... I cannot agree with you that idealism can set some things right unless if you are the receptor,if it is for others, however you may be optimistic in their response, you sometimes cannot get the things you want.
