dino-topia
I provisionally deleted an addition to the alternative words for dystopia. The addition was "dino-topia". All I can find on the web is a series of books and movie called Dinotopia (cf http://www.dinotopia.com/). If this is used as a real alternative for Dystopia, it seems obscure. Can anyone provide a reference? Notinasnaid 07:50, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

new thought: has anyone really thought about how much of that discription matches the ethics and moral values of the united states governement?(note the lack of capital lettering)i just wondered if im alone in this

No, I agree with you wholeheartedly, it does remind me of the years of having a state-comdemned enemy, you know,  the communists/terrorists/socialists/anarchists paul

I recently edited an article on an apocalyptic novel titled 'Children of the Dust' that contained a quote referring to humanity as "dinosaurs in bunkers" i have no idea if this is applicable to your question, but it may be a reference tom

Anarchy
The word anarchy used in first sentences suggests that this concept (anarchy) was somehow defined as "nightmare thing", by the person who released the original concept of "dystopia". However this statement about anarchy from first sentences is subsubjective. The article needs a history showing: who used term - "dystopia" in widely known texts or descriptions, as this word can by formed by different people independently, to describe different situations. Previous part of this discussion has some origins of such history. Anarchy for anarchists can mean "utopia".
