True.

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." -Thomas Jefferson

"The Utopian schemes of leveling, and a community of goods, are as visionary and impracticable as those which vest all property in the Crown. [These ideas] are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government, unconstitutional."
- Samuel Adams

Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.
- Thomas Sowell

I am all for REGULATED capitalism.

Nope, sorry, can't have it both ways.

You know, that is not unreasonable. Capitalism, completely unregulated, may eventually end up with a few people who ban together and figure the system out to exploit it. Only problem is, eventually the same will occur with regulations. Those who are making the rules become more powerful than those originally taking advantage of the system and power, breeds corruption, just as it did before, but this time on an even less playing field.

This is one of many reasons a Utopian society cannot exist...

Just my 2 cents...

At least not in this reality.

Besides a Utopian society, (trust me on this) is a really nice place to spend a long vacation, but after two thousand years, it is no longer challenging and it can get quite boring.

It is like always staying home in a safe environment all of your life and never experiencing drama, danger, adventure, or a challenge of any kind.

A Utopian society can exist but only with frequent and regulated Enemas.

most things need some type of regulation

it is over-regulation that strangles the positive possibilities
usually

yes some weapon regulation is needed but once someone passes their
background checks they should be issued an identifier saying such

then the it can be used like a drivers license until revoked all that needs done is enter # in data base if no hits they are good to get what ever weapon they wish

if all members not committing crimes were armed then the criminal
would need to think about being shot at when they illegally act
