What is your ideal utopia?

A few days ago in an article I mentioned that until the day that people start to dream of a better world, nothing will change. The ruling class in any society is strongly against dreaming of better worlds because that might weaken their grasp of power.

Now hereby I want you to post me your dreams, the ingredients of that better world, how it functions, what are the rights and duties of its citizens, etc. I will try to make a list built on your dreams. The dream of a better world, of a Utopia, is the compass to start on the path to change the world.

What do I think this world will have? Well, building up on what we have already in Canada and consider the essential necessities of life here, here is just a very short list:

1. universal and public health care, covering everyting from minor problems to dental and eyecare and medicals.

2. Humane minimum wage for everybody, and if somebody can't make ends meet, it is his "human rights" to receive that minimum from government, no questions asked.

3. Free Universal education for everybody from daycare up to the Ph.D. level and not only school and highschool studies.

4. Shelter and residence for everybody. Every human being is entitled to a decent living space, with at least a bedroom for each member of a family, with all the amenities we consider essential now like clean water, electricity, a fridge, etc.

5. No armed forces. No budget for killing people, there are better ways to use the tax money of the people than pay it for killing others.

6. In my Utopia, scientists are the most famous celebrities, not the rock stars and actors. The role models for my Utopia's teenagers are scientists not Rap singers. If we human beings are here and not still roaming the forests, it is because of the scientists not the rock stars, actors, painters, writers, politicians, etc. If we can cure diseases and send human beings to the moon, it is thanks to our scientists.

7. In my Utopia, the act of bringing up children is the most important activity of the society. Instilling a sense of citizenship and duty to others as a citizen must be the primary goal. In this Utopia, not every alchoholic and illiterate person is allowed to bring up children, just because they have donated their sperms and eggs to give birth to that child. It needs prior education, every father and mother has to be taught how to do this most delicate of human endeavors.

Come on, click on comments and post me your opinions and suggestions. I will add them to the list!
