What do you think of this Utopian dream?

Asked by Hobbes (7368points) July 25th, 2011

I imagine a world where every single person has clean air to breathe and fresh water to drink. I imagine a world where everyone has plentiful, healthy, tasty food. I imagine a world where everyone has a warm and comfortable place to sleep. I imagine a world where anyone will receive medicine and care whenever they are sick or injured. It’s sad that this is a dream, because this is all human beings need, besides one another.

Right now the world economy is focused on giving a few what they want instead of giving everyone what they need, at the cost of violence to humans and to the rest of life on this planet. We are literally poisoning our air and our water, and undermining our ability to produce food and provide medicine. We must find a way to create things that does not rely on violence to humans and to the planetary ecosystem of which we are a part and on which we depend.
