Let's get all utopian, frustrated leftist suggests

*Interesting piece on utopian thinking here. At the least,

periodically totting up all these calamitous failures may

prevent us from re-inventing the wheel.

*I'd be betting William Morris would be appalled by today's

frenzied global capitalism, but on the other hand, he'd

likely be even more alarmed to see his wallpaper still

selling like crazy.

*Let's try and get this straight, shall we? "The perfection of

the social order" is one of the stupidest ideas in the world. This is like sitting down to a "perfect meal" and expecting to eat the same perfect thing, every perfect day, until the end of time.

*You want to reform society? Come up with a scheme that

will win some damn votes.

'Ublopia or Otivion,' folks.
