After reading “Declaration of Independents” (letter to the editor, Herald, July 1) I now know that a perfect paradise on Earth can be realized in just a few short years simply by following the recommendations of C. H. Stevens.

Little did we know just how easy it all can be.

Countless decades of dashed hopes and dismay at the human condition, all the struggles and disaffections of our planet, all the well-meaning but fruitless efforts of governments, human organizations, and an endless array of great-thinkers can be wiped away in an instant simply by proclaiming to the party “conventions” that we’d like it to be different … that we want Nirvana, and we want it now!

The only thing Mr. Stevens didn’t promise us is that we will all be wickedly wealthy and never again have a single care in this world.
