I did enjoy it.

I learned a new word: dystopia, the opposite of utopia. I wasn't even aware that the word existed. But, thinking for two seconds about it, OF COURSE the Greeks would have an opposite. Most words that are so descriptive do have the "antonym."

Thanks for sharing.

My favorite 'opia' is onomatopia.

In that perfect world, everything sounds exactly the way you would expect it to.

Dystopian is a word that has been much-used of late. Many movies’ themes are rooted in it as well as hysterical liberals’ claims about what those evil conservatives want to do.

But, in my book Obama is ‘dystopian’ in form, matter and function.
