To the editor:

Saying that the world is in trouble is an understatement and there's a lot of blame being thrown around as to why that is.

"We will unlearn competition..."

Of course we will. But first, we will ride on winged unicorns, bouncing along marshmallow clouds.

Michael, in your Utopia, who actually makes the products? Who invents new things and brings them to market? No market? Just 'share' your products or trade them in a 'bartering'? Your socialist utopia cannot work. Never has. Never will. Eat an animal for some brain protein.

It's not Utopian in any way. However, personal attacks from an anonymous person don't interest me enough to explain further. Google 'resourceism'

Personal attacks? How about just answering the questions instead of deflecting every time you're asked?

If you can't deal with the most straightforward of questions how do you expect to convince anyone of your crusade? Stop hiding behind Google and stand on your own convictions and explain it thoroughly and completely. Or, stop bothering us every 2 weeks.

Michael, Thank you for your contribution, it takes courage to step outside of the status quo. Our friend Dave here reminds us why. What we know is the past (hindsight is 20/20); in this case, knowing is the booby prize. It is akin to driving your car while looking in the rearview mirror and we already know where that gets us. Certainly, we can become experts at knowing where we have been, but unless we have the courage to be in the unknown we will never get anywhere new. Until we have the courage to enter the unknown with compassion, humility and fortitude we will know nothing else. Thanks again for sharing your vision. I'd like to hear more.

There is nothing new about what Michael is suggesting. It's just being repackaged.

It is old-time Socialism mixed with a little New Age ethereal philosophy.

It's failed every time it's been tried. It's not about being optimistic or pessimistic. It's about being realistic and knowing history. Rearview mirror stuff.
