| What is the qualifications of a utopia? Would I define these the same as another individual? So what might seem like utopia for one might be dystopia to another. In hence it would never be considered unversally perfect. |

No Utopian society could ever happen to be:
The only way a Utopian society could ever come about is if all humans are willing to just change... everything. To be able to mentally change themselves to realize that money has to meaning for example. If you were to banish ideas of money, that coins or paper has value, everyone must conform and change their very selves mentally to get out of that state of mind.
To be who you aren't is a crime against yourself and if you succeed then you are no longer yourself. perhaps you can find SOME followers for a bizzare movement such as this, but you can never have EVERYONE for followers. |

| If a utopian society ever came into being, believe me people would recognize it as such. When faced with comparisons to pictures of starving children and the pictures of everyone having a generally equal quality of life; people will just know they are blessed to be alive. |

=Not Utopia. If I wanted to kill JWB, according to what he said, I could, because I have the freedom to do so. However, this may mean I have achieved a utopian state, but certaintly he hasn't, cause he's dead...however that in itself may be utopian. |
