Problem is, where to go? I haven't the slightest desire to move to EU, Canada is looking better all the time in some respects, but there is literally no true freedom of speech/press there, and as nice as Costa Rica looks, they (or any of the South American or Meso-american countries) are not a sure safe place with the Great Satan to the north likely to impose a change of government at whim. If I had the wherewithal, building a large floating farm might be a good choice, although Satan's minions seem to no longer recognize rules of the sea, national ship registry, or anything else these days with US Navy and "Coast Guard" stopping ships and fishing boats all over the world and searching them. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com
