Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

The animals are adorable.

I'm not sure I like the quote.

"Every one belongs to every one else."

-Government slogan, Brave New World

"Every one works for every one else. We can't do without any one. Even Epsilons are useful. We couldn't do without Epsilons. Every one works for every one else. We can't do without any one."

-Expanded government slogan used for the sleep training technique, Brave New World

"My dear young friend," said Mustapha Mond, "civilization has absolutely no need of nobility or heroism. These things are symptoms of political inefficiency. In a properly organized society like ours, nobody has any opportunities for being noble or heroic. Conditions have got to be thoroughly unstable before the occasion can arise. Where there are wars, where there are divided allegiances, where there are temptations to be resisted, objects of love to be fought for or defended–there, obviously, nobility and heroism have some sense. But there aren't any wars nowadays. The greatest care is taken to prevent you from loving any one too much. There's no such thing as a divided allegiance; you're so conditioned that you can't help doing what you ought to do. And what you ought to do is on the whole so pleasant, so many of the natural impulses are allowed free play, that there really aren't any temptations to resist."

-Brave New World

"O brave new world, that has such people in it!"

-Miranda, The Tempest

"I'm going to show you a world without sin."

-Malcolm Reynolds, Serenity

"Fighting for nothing is as bad as having nothing to fight for."

-Me

Is there a book, Utopia? That I never read.
I'd like the no crime, no disease part.

Utopia is actually pun. Eutopia means good place, and Utopia, pronounced the same way, means nowhere.
