The one thing that Joel seems to have missed is the title of the song; "Imagine".
Lennon isn't saying that any of these things is possible or particularly preferable. Only that we should imagine them. It's called daydreaming. For is doing so, perhaps we can take a small something from the process and apply it to real life. Like maybe treating each other a little better.
G'head, flame away.

"I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one."

Lennon isn't saying that any of these things is possible or particularly preferable. Only that we should imagine them. Now the discussion has hit rock-bottom silliness. Of course he's saying they're preferable . Let's not be stupid.
