"...That is part of the price of citizenship in a democracy, which by definition forces us to work within the whole society in which we live, and ultimately dooms any attempt to recast society according to a particular Utopian vision...." DK
He implies here that America abhors, and always has, utopian visions.
This I fear is a flawed remark in various ways.
America actually was based, in my view, on at least three or five utopian perspectives, which did not then at the founding coalesce into one non utopian one, or later.
Let us take a brief look, next time at what those Utopian views or perspectives of the founders might have been, back then.
