Actually I think that was personal. Just because it isn't limited to an individual or selfish doesn't mean it isn't "personal"- some people just have an expanded sense of things that they care deeply about.


And as for dreams- why make them "real life"? Isn't that what dreams are NOT supposed to be??? Reminds me of a scene from- I dunno, "Man From Uncle" or some such- two people crawling thru the desert. First person wishes for water, the other for champagne. First person looks at the second funny, and second person replies: "Well, we're not about to get either, so if you're going to wish, wish big".

So, my dreams:

My family gets healthy and we all live healthfully and productively to at least 120.

The world comes to its sense and kicks out the greedy bastards that make everyone else miserable. (Notice I didn't say anything about vaporizing people? Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I guess I'm alright)

Everyone voluntarily decides to have only one child per couple for the forseeable future.

Firefly comes back to TV.

Rewards go to those who work not those who steal.

The concept of intellectual property goes the way of the dodo.

Everyone gets all hyped up about global warming and starts on a massive reforestation campaign.

Everyone get all hyped up about invasive species and really inspects imports and exports.

Firefly comes back to TV but not under Fox.



---------------------------------
Please don't think they give a shit.

OH, and Finn and Auraptor and Hero get some bright and shiny dreams they can call their own so they don't have to go tearing down others'.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain- he's just a Dick.

No. Dreams have to be real life, otherwise they are just fantasies.

Actually, that is my most sincere personal wish for a better world. I have posted about it many times. It came to me literally in a dream, and it was so convincing it was like a conversion. That's why I don't think of it as political - it's more like religious. Except without god.


Nearly everything I know I learned by the grace of others.

If you don't object to peoples' dark unrealistic fantasies, why do you object to their bright dreams?

Who said I objected to anyone’s “bright dreams?” And who said I don’t object to anyone’s “dark unrealistic fantasies.” I don't necessarily, but why would you even assume that? Hell, I didn’t even post in that thread.

Pretty simple really.

I'm happy. You're happy. My family is happy. My friends are happy. The world population is happy. We're all just pleasantly happy and enjoying living life in whatever way we prefer.



Yeah, I know, never gonna happen, but I can dream.

This isn't an objection? A criticism? A negative judgement? My bad. I didn't realize it was a supportive comment.

Well duh, I realize you didn't post in the other thread. That was exactly my point.
