A Good Place

I have been corrected - and I pass this little gem on. The Cafe where the Coffee came from is spelled "Eutopia" not Utopia which was how I spelled it. The difference is that even though we all think Utopia means a place where everything is perfect, it actually means a place that cant possibly exist, a non place and was a term - I looked this up - coined by Sir Thomas More to describe a mythical Island in the Atlantic where everything was perfect. His point was that such a place couldnt exist. However, a "Good Place" (eu = good and topos = place) can exist , and this is why Peter the Good Barrista of Kaiwaka chose to call his wonderful cafe (see picture above) Eutopia.

Heres an extract from Wikipedia:
More's utopia is largely based on Plato's Republic. It is a perfect version of Republic wherein the beauties of society reign (eg: equality and a general pacifist attitude), although its citizens are all ready to fight if need be. The evils of society, eg: poverty and misery, are all removed. It has few laws, no lawyers and rarely sends its citizens to war, but hires mercenaries from among its war-prone neighbors (these mercenaries were deliberately sent into dangerous situations in the hope that the more warlike populations of all surrounding countries will be weeded out, leaving peaceful peoples). The society encourages tolerance of all religions. Some readers have chosen to accept this imaginary society as the realistic blueprint for a working nation, while others have postulated More intended nothing of the sort. Some maintain the position that More's Utopia functions only on the level of a satire, a work intended to reveal more about the England of his time than about an idealistic society
