Of course the ultimate utopian society would have at its disposal the ultimate weapon of mass destruction. This has to be an integral part of its survival against the many "bombers" of the world.

Nah, the real survival technique there would be a workable defense against the assaults of the 'bombers'. But keep the WMDs on hand; MAD might have a deterrent effect on some of them. Then again, it might not...

1. Pay off my mortgage.

2. Work to change the following:

- Remove the powers of all governments to do anything other than prevent crime.

- Abolish the Plurality Voting System and all other voting systems with biases built into them.

- Require all politicians in office to pay three times the taxes all other people pay.

- Get Political Correctness and Environmentalism recognized as the religions they are, and treated appropriately by governments. Their tenets would not allowed to be made into laws.

- Limit the amount of tax any individual is required to pay to 10 percent.

- Require scientific reviews by disinterested scientists of all scientific claims presented to governments with the intent to require laws to be passed.

>what would you do if you had millions/billions of dollars to spare?
The same thing nearly everyone else on Earth would do: spend it selfishly, and maybe donate as little as possible to shut up the people who feel the need to tell me what to do with my money.
I'm here to prove you wrong.

give it all away to relatives and charity. I would hate to be filthy rich -- people who have lots of money have to work their tails off just to keep it. I'm perfectly happy with what I have now.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
