For our friends that pick communism Explain why it failed.  I grant you the fantasy sounds great.  The reality produces less for all.\n\nPure Capitalism will not work either not one is greedy enough.  Greedy enough means being willing to work hard enough to make sure no one else can restrict your life style.\n\nBy that definition pure capitalism is very inefficient both for labor and capital.  The US with all its faults maybe the best we are going to get.\n\nOur Taxing policy is a bit funny also.  The individual (except maybe for the extremely high payed ones)are paid by what society feels they are worth. Then the taxman says since society feels you are so valuable you can donate by force money for the good of the rest. \n\nEnjoy the 1st Worlds life style while you can.  When the energy that makes it possible drys up so will the economy! There are 2 caveats to this statement we could go Nuclear or  the economics of Renewable Energy has to change.  Renewable Energy will never be directly economically viable unless our energy bill skyrockets after the infrastructure is installed or 2 international governments donate/invest a large enough plot of land to make private investor set up and take notice.  This land must be of little value for the politician's constituents to allow it, but the designer must see a way to change the value that is large enough to subsidize the infrastructure.

This is like asking, "Is the glass half full or half empty?"\n\nIf you are an optimist, the world is mostly good.

Personally, I'd like to add the Philippines as a state, but I'm not in charge.  So, I'll just pray that those in charge of such big decisions make it so!

That which makes America so attractive and so powerful is the IDEAS upon which it is based.  And it is not just the specific ideas which are stated explicitly or even implicitly in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, or any other great document or speech or proverb.  The key is that we are dedicated to seeking the most accurate ideas regarding man's nature and the form of self government that allows each individual man to seek his full potential in terms of financial security, physical security, emotional peace and well being, and spiritual ascension (happiness).

I would say about 50% think of the future. It seems to me that everything on this planet seems to be divided 50% yes'er and 50% no'ers... Dr Checko... (Nickname)

The nice thing is that Utopia is different for each person and therefor each person has the chance for their own Utopia to exist. That said, in the world which we live in today I can't say if a "perfect world" can exist anymore or ever really has. But every individual person has the ability to look into their heart and mind and then create their own "perfect world" however they want to.

It would be hard if not impossible to make the world happy with so many different beliefs and religions. What I would do was first hold town hall meetings like we used to yrs ago to find out what the people want not the world Then when I find a way to please the majority of the people then start on how to make the world a better places to live in.\nBut by all means I would secure the boarders and ports by securing the borders we control whom are here. I would start a program that mandates the U.S will not rely on energy\nfrom foreign Countries within 5 yrs it is possible. then start a free trade with all Countries where the Trade is equal and balanced for our Country.\nI would like the rest of the world happy but my first Job would be to try to make this Country Happy

The problem with utopian ideals is that they ignore human nature.\n\nWhen people are perfect, let's talk about it.

Dear dbish616@sbcglobal.net:\nI like your question. It is a question I have thought about all my life since I was a teenager. I am completing my masters in political science to understand that question better, and try to answer it. Last term we learned that there is the idealistic way of looking at the world and the realistic way. Idealists, like you and I, think about how the world should be, whereas the realists see the world as it is and act accordingly.\nThere's more to this question, but this may be a good start of a thread.\nRegards,\nCarlos

Your idea is great. I would love it. You can practically go anywhere in your own country !! Cool. Plus think of it, no cross border terrorism, no wars, no nothing. We wolud be living in a peaceful world. Most of the evils in this world are due to difference in any two countries. One is more developed then other this and that. Though your idea is pretty good, I am afraid that what you say beholds true! Indeed, Human greed for power and wealth will not make it possible in first place cause everyone in the political field today, atleast the president's of today's countries will want to be the supreme of this new country and there will be conflicts. And Secondly, even if it takes place, the developed will develop more while poor will become poorer as the competetio will increase far more than ever. That is a brilliant idea. But do no feel sad, you can still dream about it tonight because I know, I will. I definately will.\nSo Long. Keep thinkin of more of such ideas. Bye
