You say you are not a slave ? I am telling you: we could have not only the basics but even a Mercedes and a villa for everyone. (But I say - only the basics, then everyone does as he wishes.QUOTE]

Well I would suggest that you buy an island in the pacific somewhere and take a few thousand people with you. But you can't take with you any modern conveniences that today's capitolistic society has given you. Once there go ahead and build your cruise ship and mercedes. Out of the thousands there I doubt there would be a single person who knew how to mine for iron(if there is any on the island) turn it to steel, then build said ship or car. Your Utopia, while intriguing, is simply not possible or sustainable. I think you've taken the star trek universe a little to seriously.

I got through about a quarter of that nonsense before I stoped reading. I'm suprised I made it that far. Basic education is absolutely crucial to any society. The better educated the better the society will be.
