Another thing is to keep up appearances of wealth: a beautiful green lawn, the house front in good repair, a clean new-looking SUV, a smoking chimney, laughter and happiness. Tell all your neighbors about the great restaurants and vacations out there. Don't let them win in their effort to turn America into Cuba Norte.

I'm with you on the laughter and happiness. But I was thinking of quitting supporting this socialist society, going to live in the woods simply and deliberately, and being supremely happy.

Don't let them win. They want you to drop out and stop being a source of envy to them. Even driving an old rusty truck, a vehicle they don't own, makes these sick people envious. They want you to go back to living as a hairless baboon eating grubs off a stick, while they continue to stew in their sorry lives. Misery loves company.

There is much benefit to playing on a team, just not a team that plays against itself. Civilization has its problems but it's a better way to live. Don't give up.
