Boris,
You should read the last chapter, if you haven't you really have not
read the book. :)

He is most noted for his "Utopia" a social satire (I look at it more as a book of
Ethics). I agree with him on most fundamental issues, except one: He believes that humans are not
naturally good, while me believes the opposite. In my opinion human "sinfulness" is a
product of the social injustices prominent in primitive oppressive societies (such as the ones ran
by big corporations and thugs...:)and humans given the right kind of environment (manure in Moose's
terms), would strive toward perfection (goodness...:)
I have read the book several times, but never the last chapter, which deals
with religion. One day I might find the courage to read it. I recommend it to
the intelectual types on this list...
Hope this helps
Boris
