Here’s an idea, maybe the nature of things has been set to the period of England’s history where the religious pilgrims set out to find a new place to call there own. These pilgrimages have happened through out history. Maybe it’s time for the next great pilgrimage. Maybe we could start a colony on the ocean, the tech exists to make it work. No ones going to the moon anymore, maybe it’s time to build an off shore corporation to lead the new great migration to the moon. Or maybe it’s time to build the next great comunications array like the matrix, cut the government out all together. Hope springs eternal.

The migration idea has been bandied about a lot. The problem is that in order to work, it would take a large number of people. People’s natural instinct during difficult times is to hunker down. I can’t see such a migration occurring, in sufficient numbers, to create some kind of new America. More likely, you would end up with isolated pockets of expats. The same problem makes secession so unlikely. People are now concerned about survival, about retaining some standard of living. Unfortunately, we are going to have to accept that we can only control those things around us, and wait it out through a very grim period, until things get intolerably bad.

As far as migrating into one of those isolated pockets of expats, I am very wary. As the global economy continues its decay, we may find that being glaringly white in a non-white area may become quite dangerous, even in areas that are currently pro-American.
