I agree with you. But I think it will never happen only because of people who think such ideals are a 'wonderland'. If people actually wanted this, we could have it.
Yes, but logically it can't happen. To much racism and greed for this to ever happen.
Those can be overcome.

I would like to be proven wrong but I don't think I ever will.
Godbless, Tadpole.

You certainly will not in our lifetime, but if you look at history, we have already made huge strides. Evolution is a slow process...

Good quote, don't know if I agree though... I've always been more of a realist.

Say you were dying, right...

Would you rather have someone tell you Bush -- pulling an FDR -- received a third term in office and be telling the truth, or be lying and tell you that someone shot him in the vagina?

And "I wouldn't care because I would be dead in a few moments anyway" doesn't count.

I'd prefer the second, but I'd expect the first...

I would rather hear the truth, nothing gets accomplished by lying.
