Meaning of "Utopia"
In 1516 Sir Thomas More wrote the first 'Utopia'. He coined the word 'utopia' from the Greek ou-topos meaning 'no place' or 'nowhere'.

But this was a pun - the almost identical Greek word eu-topos means a good place.

Utopia from the Greek words meaning “No Place”, because no ideal society actually exists! In any society work must be done, who is going to do the work? The Utopians? I think not.

The farming, mining, forging, manufacturing, building, cleaning, preparing, everything that does not involve Luxury and Ease will be done by the NON-Utopians, meaning you and me. TPTB achieve this by the vote of the people, or the useful fools as TPTB see us as being.

The Constitution is a blend of 'moral certitude' -- which is one of the reasons that criminals are determined to be rid of it and We the People must be even more determined to defend it.

The only thing the Illuminati fears is an independent person who can live, eat, sleep, stay warm and defend themselves separate from Federal help. Pray that the Lord gives us more time! The End is near and time is short!

Only Anglos think a life without work is "utopia"...Only Anglos have these weird, reductivist thought patterns that have no basis in reality but they believe really hard for some reason. A race of arrogant idiots...
