Sounds like a “perfect” world! Was THE GIVER by any chance based on this song?
“Imagine”
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
SOUL BROTHER! This house is not armed!

A few years ago an 86 year old liberal, now deceased, who tried to claim he was NOT a liberal, began ranting to me about gun control. When he paused for breath I suggested that maybe he should put a sign on his lawn saying that there were no guns in his house. He went ballistic!! He thought I was nuts for suggesting that he practice what he preached. It is not unusual for gun owners to put up a sign warning potential intruders that they DO have weapons but those who preach against using guns for self defense never seem to want to let people know they are unarmed.
