DUDE, LOOK OUT! There's some liberal creep sawing the legs off the bleachers!I saw the misery coming last June and took the appropriate steps. Hide the $$$$ overseas...
Now it's just a slow motion train wreck...but I'm safely in the bleachers... but still hoping the wreck can be averted.
that hope is fading though....
Wow, that's almost as patriotic as evading taxes....well done, friend.
Fuck that!!! I want to go back to an Amish style of existence. Simpler and free from the stresses and excesses of modern life. J/K. I agree that we need govt. I agree that we need some social programs. These shouldn't be without provisions. Welfare for example. I think we need it, and I think it serves an important purpose. It's so abused though it's absurd. There should be a maximum amount of time you can be on it (similar to unemployment) and there should be more focus on educating some of the folks taking these handouts. Make them get their GED or get a vocational certification or something. Perhaps require some form of public service (some states already do this).

Tell me how a fireman making 48,000 a year with a wife who works in a laboratory making about $16 an hour are able to get food stamps.
I think the term "progressive" is too broadly applied and means different things to different people. You're right, progressive sounds great. It's got that warm and fuzzy sound. Just as some crazies have hijacked the tea party movement, some evil-doers (ya like my Bush era conservative moniker?
) have done the same to the progressive movement. I'm for progress. I love technology and science. I just don't want servitude disguised as progress. That's what scares me about the current agenda in washington. Not a damn one of our beloved politicians can be trusted IMO, and believe it or not I'm not a paranoid conspiracy nut (no offense to any paranoid conspiracy nuts.
). It just doesn't sit right with me.
I was exaggerating a little bit (a very little bit).
...oh well this the internet people can be and do what ever they want. I will just be me
I have been there...looked around...I have friends down there...great fishing...but I'm over fishing and have been for years. Big boats all that junk...been there done that....I live in Florida...I want seasons again.
That has been the contention. My wife has only lived in tropical climes....and Canada is a BIG step. We've made many trips and picked up property years ago when the dollar was giving us a 35% advantage....timing...like everything.
That was the equation and discussions.... take the huge profit and sell....and buy elsewhere...or simply put up a house on the acreage.
I just have to promise to fly her out whenever she wants in the winter back to one of our southern places. That was the deal. It still could change.... I like to stay open to possibilities. You first have to set up to take advantage of it...if it comes along.
So Costa is sweet, and we can stay down there whenever we wish with a phone call....but meh...we've never called so...we won't be moving south.
Actually I wanted a place in the Nederlands...
