Fantasy Island — A Utopia

One possible real Utopia would be very similar to Fantasy Island.  People would come to this Utopia to live out, perhaps several years, a fantasy somewhat more feasible than some on the hit show.

Fantasy IslandPrior to the long-running original series, Fantasy Island was introduced to viewers in 1977 through two highly-rated made-for-television films in which Mr. Roarke and Tattoo played relatively minor roles. Airing from 1978 to 1984, the original series starred Ricardo Montalban as Mr. Roarke, the enigmatic overseer of a mysterious island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean (presumably near Hawaii) where people from all walks of life could come and live out their fantasies — for a price.

Letter from Reader

I am, if you cannot tell by the e-mail address, Randy H. I must inform you that I have read your statements and everything I could find on your website.

{Thank you}
 
 I believe it would be possible in a perfect world {we wouldn’t be writing about utopia were this a perfect world} to have this perfect utopia {utopia is a civilization without defects (one definition of perfection)} spring up and give everyone perfect lives {defect free lives is a less confusing concept to most}. I say this not to get you to stop reading this extensive e-mail, but to realize where I stand on the issue. For your statements on outsourcing employment, I am in the understanding the unemployment rate is in the lowest it has been in a long time {The unemployment rate is merely the percent of people collecting unemployment compensation.  Furthermore, many, if not most, people are not working at their ideal job.  Few are working at their ideal wage, but it is not necessary for a utopia make everybody billionaires or even millionaires.}.
       Moving on to the justice {I remind you that the disproportionate punishment of today is NOT justice}, I believe in your first statement. If I may remind you in my own words:

A person cannot harm another person in any way, shape, or conceivable or inconceivable form without also facing the justice system {It is also not justice when a person has to pay $18,000 to a lawyer to defend against a cop that fabricates false charges that threaten years in prison.}  I may also add that there should be an allowance for guilt to a person if they may feel it in a situation. Guilt {guilt and other emotional pains inflicted by a society without justice – as with the current world justice systems – is huge} is a very powerful form of pain but, unlike physical or monetary, this is placed upon someone by their own self. Now, moving on to the next justice fundamental principle.

Utopia

flower garden2

Utopia is like a beautiful flower garden.  The weeds have been pulled.  The beautiful is cultivated.  The parasites and predators have been eliminated.

Utopia doesn’t allow unmitigated competition or let the introduction of a new species ruin the garden. 

Utopia cultivates and nurtures the healthy evolution of society rather than allowing individuals to dominate at the expense of all.  Utopia is about healthy competition – not warlike competition.

All Utopian Flowers have equal opportunity in the sun.  A tulip and a rose are admired for their differences. Varity is respected and desired.  Each flower is allowed to flourish, grow and be admired.

Imagine

——————————————————————————–

Imagine

Imagine there’s no heaven,
It’s easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today…

Imagine there’s no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace…

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you’ll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Dystopian Justice

Hello- I am a Police School Liaison Officer for a small high school in Wisconsin.  I recently had several students come to my office after they had read some of the stories on your site.  Their impressions were that police brutality is rampant and ingrained in the American justice system.

The first page of the Massachusetts Police Brutality site contains statistics from the DOJ (Department of Justice).  The letters in the site are from readers that felt compelled to write.

 While I agree that there are incidents of police brutality, I would say each has to be judged on its own merits.  The overwhelming concept your site presents is that all arrests contain some form of excessive brutality, which is quite simply not true. 


The first page of the Massachusetts Police Brutality site states that there are 14,004,327 Arrests each year in America and, by DOJ Survey, 430,000 Instances of Excessive Force By the Police.  14 million is a large number of arrests.  During a 80 year lifetime, there will be 80 times 14,000,000 arrests.  That is 1120 million arrests made during the average lifetime.  Since there are only 300 million Americans, it is likely that each American will be arrested several times.  If 3% of all arrests use excessive force (a DOJ statistic), then there will be 33 million instances of police brutality during the average American lifetime.

 I have been in this career for many years and have had contact, both positive and negative, with thousands of people.  Many of these people have remarked how considerate and polite they have been treated, even when they were being taken to jail!

You must remember that the awesome power of the police and courts make people supplicate, grovel, and propitiate.  One false move could send a person to jail or, at least, cost his family months of time, intense aggravation and tens of thousands of dollars.  Isn’t it more humane to tell the children the dangers and stop the big brother act?
