... right? Is anyone right? Under a utopian society, totalitarianism wouldn't be the best because that society would be more perfect for one person than another. Communism wouldn't be the right choice because the government would have too much control over everyone's lives and being controlled isn't ideal for many people. A democratic society wouldn't work either because you would always have people like Hitler and Stalin walking around that wouldn't agree with it therefore the utopian side of it would be lost. You couldn't even have anarchy as the problem fixer because it would end up causing more pro ...

the workplace then maybe we should abolish the workplace too.
A case that clearly does show sexual harassment is Bob Packwood.
