"I know that society may be formed so as to exist without crime, without poverty, with health greatly improved, with little, if any misery, and with intelligence and happiness increased a hundredfold; and no obstacle whatsoever intervenes at this moment except ignorance to prevent such a state of society from becoming universal."

Robert Owen in his 1816 address to the inhabitants of New Lanark, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.

Indeed, his words ring more true today than ever before.
