But you know what? We are not living in a tribal society. I'm terribly sorry, but each and every one of us has been ruined by modern society. I'll tell you what. Why don't you gather all of your Utopia - pushing friends together and start a commune. Go for it. Abolish government and money. See how much work gets done. Let me know what happens. If it works for you, great, leave us the hell alone.
