11. Anyone remember the articles about Alexander Abian--- |
|
Edited on Thu May-12-05 02:04 PM by TwoSparkles
the professor who wanted us to think about the possibility of removing the moon? Abian suggested that without the moon, you could "straighten up" the Earth and remove its tilt to 0, thus eliminating destructive weather and creating paradise on our planet.
Your comment made me think of that.
Anyone else remember this guy?

5. No choice for central, so I said Western Europe. |
|
For now, I still love my country and feel I should stay, but I would love to visit Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Croatia and a few others to witness the fresh exitement of people getting involved in their own politics. I'm just afraid that I wouldn't want to come back. A teacher of DOD schools (army brats) in Germany says both she and her husband don't want to return to the US when he retires. She told Mike Malloy (Monday, I think) that there's quite a few service members and families that see fascism growing here, and they see and experience freedom there. I can understand that, having been to Europe on extended stays twice before.

9. It's slwoly becomming harder and harder to shift your assets |
|
Out of America. At the moment if you want to deal with banks you have to really shop a lot harder if you want to move any kinds of savings overseas. Personally I would prefer to have something in Central/South America and something else in Western Europe in the Neutral/Peaceful/Small nations where I would want to live more normally. There is a great temptation to get out of this country before it gets really bad.

19. Luckily for me - no assets. |
|
FIL has a condominium and a plot of land in the 'burbs. We can build a house on it for a fraction of what it would cost us anywhere in CA.

I've lived in Oshawa for close to 30 years. I find it really hard to believe that Oshawa is somebody's dreamland. What with the post-industrial wasteland of the down-town area where the old GM plants were or the scary public housing developements of the south end. Even Whitby would be nicer.
To each their own, but it's great to hear that somebody thinks well of my hometown.

21. Me too. I was told by my grandmother I can get citizenship too. |
|
If that doesn't work out, I would love to go to Venezuela, though I think the anti-American sentiment may be getting up there. Don't know about that though.

It looks like a beautiful place where I one can live in the country (rural areas).
I don't really know enough about it though. I'd hate to move there and find out they're more right-wing than we are!
Our plan is to move to northern CA to be around more like-minded people. If it gets worse, though, in the next 5 years or so, we're outa here.

24. I have dual Italian-US citizenship, thanks to my |
|
Great-grandfather never becoming Naturalized. I have been seriously thinking about moving to Europe. I can work in an EU country. I would love to go to Ireland, but the quarantine for my kitties would be way too long. Ditto for Great Britain. So.... I'm not sure. I could teach English in Italy for a while, but my Italian is poco and molto malissimo (I think that's right!)
But, at least I have an escape.
