I should have heeded my "no posting untill the fog o' sleep wears off" rule, as it is to blame for my left off ": ^ )", which should have preceded my previous post.

There was no disrespect intended to PPTFNR, just a feeble attempt at humor. I actually admire the imaginitive thought you put into your post.

As I am an ex-USN gunner's mate, like 68-69TonkinGulf yatchclub, I am a regular visitor to the canteen.

Thanks for the Machivelli and Art of war links from your profile page.

No offense taken!!! I provide my own best material...I don't mind being a crackpot with this whole concept! Hell I can't even spell SLEEVE!!! Just for reassurance to any mental health care professionals out there? I came up with the idea of a fictional colony to point out the flaws in the US government and society in general(primarily distrust on the part of the former and laziness and selfishness on the latter). We're dreaming of the future of the US...not trying to escape...FOR EDUCATIONAL AND DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY!!!

You're so polite...As was pointed out graciously to me by a vet...Patriots usually ARE polite...Because they are gratefull to live in the greatest Nation that has ever existed on this earth despite her imperfections...Let's brainstorm and fix them in our lifetimes so our Children don't HAVE to move to Mars to have Freedom and Prosperity, in Their Time...right here in the Blessed US of A...LONG MAY SHE RRROCK!!!!
