Utopia

Are we moving toward a Utopia as we, like the universe, slowly drift away from our core? St. Thomas More’s creation, Utopia, boasted of a ideal world where "though no one owns anything, everyone is rich." In contrast, the Greek demagogue, Creon, favored empire but warned that the three failings fatal to empire are "pity, sentiment, indulgence." Where is America today?
Somewhere at a frustrated mid point? Or tipping point? Government is poised to impose even more strictures, constraints and rules upon us if either progressive candidate, Barak Obama or Hellary Clinton inhabits the White House. Political correctness, hedonism, professional grief and a cult of victimhood and accusal characterize their versions of liberalism. The American empire would crack and crumble. Furthermore, liberal government - socialism, the abolishment of wealth, class divisions, self-sufficiency and entrepreneurism - envisions a romantic, Utopia on the horizon. Do we want our empire to fall and a socialist Utopia to arise and replace us? Nothing worse could prevail on the human soul than the abolishment of private property and class distinction. What would arise would be a planet of the apes in which the higher faculties of our evolutionary selves were abandoned and we ‘choose’ ( have been forced) to sit around in stuporous oblivion in a state of natural, pre-rational bliss, scratching each others’ backs.
