you know what utopia means, don't you?

the term was coined by Thomas More from two source greek words meaning "No+Place"

so essentially what you seek is nowhere? cool.

Ahem.  *Clears throut again.*

Nothing is perfect!  :rolleyes:

ideally perfect would have to imply that it holds no conflict for anyone.  as the nature of humanity is conflictual, anything ideally perfect is thus imaginary.
