How my perfect society ended up

Out of the five people I chose, I only kept Joe the Plumber and Oscar Wilde.

I kept Wilde because he is my favorite author. He is also a person I believe belongs in society. His personality was amazingly original and he cannot be topped in his eccentricity. I felt that the person he was contributed to society more than any other person I could have put in.

I kept Joe the Plumber for no reason other than I did not trade him. I also thought it was amusing to keep him because I traded for Sarah Palin and I thought they made an ironic pair.

I traded Gandhi for Angelina Jolie because I needed a woman for a parent. I had mostly men in my society and I realized it would not last if there was no procreation.

I traded Oprah for Sarah Palin. I thought that the two were both very alike and very different. Palin is a well-known woman. She has charisma like Oprah, but her political views are very different. I thought that it would be interesting to make a dramatic shift.

I traded Jesus for Kanye West. I thought it would be good to have a younger male for procreation and he's good for entertainment.

Ideal Society

In my ideal society, the five people I chose were: Oprah Winfrey, "Joe the Plumber", Oscar Wilde, Gandhi, and Jesus.

Oprah would be the mother figure, the leader, and the government. She is wise and charismatic. People tend to gravitate toward her. She has a large heart and would do well in a society built for the good of others. Other people tend to listen to her. They pour their hearts out to her, laugh with her, and trust her.

"Joe the Plumber", born Samuel Wurzelbacher, is the labor, the follower, and a businessman. He is the man that spoke against Barack Obama. He would be a follower of the government and would basically do the work that was needed. He is also very controversial, giving the people in society something to gossip about.

Oscar Wilde is the dreamer, comedian, teacher, and sexual being. He was an amazing play write and author. He would be a teacher and entertainer by making plays for society to enjoy. Through his life he was a sexual person, and so he has also been given the title of sexual being.

Gandhi would be a leader, poor, the father figure, and a teacher. He would work for those who needed justice. He was a patient, courageous man and would set an example for posterity as the father figure. He was influential and would be a leader.

Jesus would be the healer, clergy, teacher, leader, and enlightener. He would be able to preform miracles needed within this society. He would take care of the people's religious needs and their ailments. He would be a moral teacher and help the society stay on track.

I chose these people because I believe that society would be perfect with them as a part of it. I value fun, although I believe that there must be seriousness in something such as the set-up of society. Oscar Wilde allows my society to be silly and sunny, while Gandhi helps to remind people that life is not all fun and games and that things must be done for the good of the people.
