No, my point is perspective. Not moral relativism, not denial.
In the whole world, this is now the best place.... and you find it intolerable. Compared to the volatile situations around the globe, if we are on the slopes of an erupting volcano, everywhere else is the target for an incoming comet.

This is the best place in the world, and it is deteriorating. The majority of the people like the deterioration and call it progress. The media and educational system, which form public opinion call it progress. We were too lazy and unconcerned in the early 60s and let the 'Great Society' legislation pass. There is almost no hope of reversing this trend. Therefore I am thinking of plans to have my family somewhere else when the US disintigates.

That is why I am retiring to a boat capable of long range offshore travel.

During my formal training as a capitalist Individualist, they taught me how to analyse current trends to make judgments about the future.

I am looking beyond the end of my nose, and I have decided that I and others who are like-minded could do it BETTER than is being done here, at this time.

I really can't see how you can't understand this, unless you secretly feel inferior, and are afraid to be a strong Individual, needing the safety of the herd.

Well said. If this wonderful land is not worth the time and effort to save it, then no place is and we may as well clock out.
