1. That cares about its natural environment.
2. That has a universal health care system that is world-famous for its excellence .
3. That has a public education system that is world-famous for its excellence.
4. Where only those who give a damn about getting things done for the public good even think about running for office.
5. Where we control the corporations and not the other way around.
6. Where we all treat one another with respect.
7. Where reality TV, fox news, Maxwell the Pig, and conservative talk radio hosts are banned from the airwaves.

There, did I miss anything?
