[Servant of the Nine]

In the whole world, this is now the best place.... and you find it intolerable.

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.

BE AFRAID! This is almost exactly what I was just telling my son on the phone. (He bores me with pick-up and car talk, I get back at him with Big Picture talk *LOL*)

How much of our present course is unintentional, lazy drifting on the currents? We are being swept away, but we have the engine power to change direction, without leaving land.
