Castles in the air.
Neurotics build them.
Psychotics live in them.

And I collect the rent.





Having to work while all this interesting discussion is going on is very distressing to me. Would the Principality of New Utopia support me entirely so that I may pursue my dream of never having to leave my internet connection?

One of the problems with these kinds of utopian societies, even ones developed by people who misunderstand Heinlein, are the sonsofbitches running them still want to take my guns.

well, i guess the promotion of your beliefs and ideals mustn't be very important to you if you delete your posts because people respond to them in a way you don't care for.

BTW - post deletion is bad form. just tell us you've changed your mind, or you think we're stupid, or your panties are really starting to pinch - but don't delete.

They feel in their utopian society you don't need a gun. Therein lies their flaw. They have no comprehention of using a gun for anything other than committing or preventing a crime.
