Iraq and the budget are as nothing compared to the firestorm following the retirement of maize, raw umber, lemon yellow, blue grey, violet blue, green blue, orange red, and orange yellow, and their replacement by vivid tangerine, wild strawberry, fuschia, teal blue, cerulean, royal purple, jungle green, and dandelion, by the makers of Crayola crayons.
Feminist Sonia Johnson, who ran for President on the 1984 Citizens Party ticket, has announced the founding of an “experimental community” based on the idea that “everyone does what she wants to all the time.” Naturally, even in the new world there will be a few chores, but never mind: everyone will “delight in doing them because it will suit their desires.” Secretaries will not only make coffee, they will enjoy making coffee. Miss Johnson’s utopia offers life, liberation, and the imposition of happiness.
