The Perfect Utopia

    We all have our vision of what is a "perfect world".  Examples abound, mostly based on sex, location where we live, hobbies, and even rural and urban. There are many more. Our present USA President is fond to say "that's just the right thing to do"...of course in his mind.

            This post is to say we do have alternatives to trying for "our" utopia.  And in the new world USA, we have a lot of alternatives, thank goodness.

            One obvious alternative is perpetuating the status quo, whatever that means.

            One can define that as the last century of progressive ideas, including the inability to pay for itself. Now practical results come to mind, like the homeless living worse than dogs in too many places, over 70% out of wedlock births in the Negro community in the USA, the slow unilateral reduction of the USA military to less than what it was at one time not too many decades ago, the demonization of all the hard workers who exist and pay the bills, the breakup of the two parent Family promoted by government programs for decades, and in too many places the dumbing down of our children.

            One can also define another alternative as simple leadership by smart and experienced people who promote the public good.  This has its own consequences, including recognizing we are not all created equal, though in the new world USA we all have equal opportunity in all facets of life. Yep, God, mother nature, or whatever, made us all differently, and some are better than others, like it or not.

            One other obvious alternative is some kind of new world USA dictatorship or royalty.  This alternative is usually something like one idea or personality imposing itself on all other ideas. Often it includes seizing assets of one group or more to help finance itself.  In this idea many people's savings like in 401K investments would be seized.  That's a big chunk of change in 2012, like 4.3 trillion USD's (USA dollars). Anyway, I think of Louis the 16th and Marie Antonette in France.

            So like the well of water going dry, we new world USA citizens do have choices has to alternatives, to include maintaining, or even enhancing our well of water...success if you will, for both ourselves and our children.

            Pursuit of a perfect utopia is universal, in my opinion.

            Just how we try get there has alternatives, and is a voter decision in the new world USA.

            Lord hopes, I hope it doesn't come down to fighting for our beliefs, like a revolution, or a civil war, and chopping off peoples heads. Now one can do it if need be (even as an old Marine I undersand my side will take casaulties), but hopefully better heads prevail in the new world USA. After all, I suspect all want just want to make things better for our children.
