A Perfect Community?

What does a perfect community look like to you? When I think of a perfect community, I think of clean streets, no crime, a roof over my head, and food on my table.
My perfect community (let's call it the "New Utopia") takes place in the future, where everyone is safe, there is no crime or poverty, no illness or hunger. In this "New Utopia" everything is absolutely perfect, and and everyone is happy.
In "New Utopia" everyone is unified by a government that is elected by the people. Everyone is safe because everyone knows how to defend themselves. No one has to worry about going hungry because food will always be available to those who need i, no one will be told they can't have what they need. Every person has a job and so everyone is a part of keeping the community running beautifully. Everyone receives the best medical care when they need it. And no one feels that someone else is better, because every one is equal. Everyone is given the same education all the way through college, receiving the best knowledge from the best.No one is left behind, no is forgotten, and no one is unequal.

My Sentence

I live to learn about life and all it has to offer, to comfort those who need comforting, and seek to better myself toward the glory of God.

Skechers and Sex?

When I look at the sketchers ad in school text book the first thing that crosses my mind is, "What does a half naked woman with a whip and a disturbed man have to do with shoes?"Than I realize something. Sex and sexy woman are one of the most used ideas to sell just about anything. In this case they are being used to sell shoes. The ad is directed at people that want exactly that, and are looking for a new pair of shoes.
These images are used to put all kinds of ideas into your head. In this case, I suppose, they are saying that if you wear these shoes, you are in for some "action." I suppose they mean that the shoes help to attract "appealing" women that like whips and sex.
The disturbed look on the man's face is harder for me to understand. He looks like he does want what he is seeing and is pushing her away. I'm not entirely sure how that is going to sell the shoe, but whatever they think will work, I am sure they are right.
