Everything Displaced Flames Fan has been saying reflects my views wholly.
Utopianism is an unattainable thing. Jesus is probably one of the most referenced and followed people who believe in forming a utopian world.
Back when Jesus was doing his thing, the world was absolutely capable of utopianism. Back when the Roman government could easily be toppled.
Now we're in 2009, a world of hypocrisy, corruption, greed, and no mercy. From what I see in the newspaper, on the internet, and on my TV screen, Obama is the closest EVER to being able to come as close to utopianism as the world has ever seen. The opportunity is there.
A holistically utopian world is never going to be possible. It's gotten the point of no return, but if we can do everything we can for the short while we're on this Earth to make it a utopian paradise, then let's do it. Obama can lead the way.
