Everytime I hear these claims I am reminded of the play, "The Persecution
of Jean Paul Marat" in which "after the revolution":
"everybody will be six feet tall...
"husbands will suddenly be reconciled with their wives
"wives will all become ravenous beauties, and husbands dashing Romeos...
"babies will never cry...
"dogs will never excrete their wastes anywhere...
"the sun will always shine, but the crops will bask in rain....

If people will believe that, then I can sell you this real nice bridge
in New York...................
 
          "Libertaria:
    where the women are tough, 
              the men are rough,
          and EVERYBODY is above average!"
