Had a dream about a water shortage. Whoop-dee-doo. All the places I've lived in my life (most recently the Great Domesticated Desert of DoomTM and Colorado) have those for real, so why the heek do I need to dream about it?
I think we need to develop a different word for "communism." Problem is, people nowadays (and for the past couple decades) use that label to refer to what is really "socialism." In my opinion, socialism is fundamentally different from communism due to the government mediation involved -- someone still has the power, and far too much of it if real-life examples of socialism are examined.
But I'm not averse to seeing the English language evolve. What I am averse to is that now we really have no word for that idealistic state where everyone contributes, without government getting its grubby paws into the job, to the greater good.

Try to keep it family-friendly.
Otherwise, poetry, random exclamations, and opinionated diatribe all welcome.
