I was under the same impression, and for some ppl its just that. But for others its a way of thinking, a utopia of sorts.
I dont think people are emotionaly mature enough to live in a society based on mutral respect and working together on our own accord, not yet anyway.
We have evolved to this point slowly, and we will continue to grow as a species, and maybe this is the future our kids, kids to look foward to.
