Update 3/25/08: A chillingly accurate connection between perversion and utopian thinking.  The punchline is pasted here, but if you want to read the strange article for yourself, go ahead...

According to Dr. Peter Mezan, a psychoanalyst in New York City, "There is an impulse that is common to perversion and to utopian thinking. The wish is to create a world in which differences make no difference. The great utopian thinkers have been immensely inspiring, but there is a reason that utopian communities have never worked out. In the name of equality of every sort and in the attempt to eliminate the tensions that normally divide us, they propose to create a marvelously unnatural world without the usual boundaries. But then it gets all f----- up."

Update 12/28/07: In the Star Wars movies, a "phantom menace" crept into the religious and poltical leadership of the galaxy.  Slowly and deceptively, this nebulous influence led to the eventual collapse of intergalactic democracy and the emergence of a totalitarian empire.  The careful and savvy reader will appreciate this article on the real phantom menace of our time...
