| Already ahead of you. Once I finish two years of college here, I'm dumping
my cash into england, and finishing Uni there. To hell with all this. I'll
be in England writing and laughing while this place degenerates into an
Orwelian hell. Oops, too late. ____________________

I've already considered moving to New Zealand, but right now, I feel its my
patriotic duty to straighten shit out in my own country, rather than
leaving for a better one.
Just give me a few years, my idealism will fade, and I'll be on the next
plane over.
Looking at the webpage, though, I kinda noticed that they really did seem
to be catering to the American jumping ship. There must really be a market
for it. ____________________

I'll have to see what happens before I decide. Two main people in the next
elections best not get Presidency if America wants to keep me here: Donald
Rumsfeld; Hillary Clinton.

When I first started traveling overseas, I was surprised to meet Americans
who were in one way or another "hiding out" from America. It is starting
to seem more and more like a good idea, and doesn't strike me as as
paranoid as it once did (although granted, the first person I met who was
"hiding out" was a guy from New Jersey hiding in Australia from the
Illuminati and the Freemasons).
I have never been to the Czech Republic, but I hear it is brutally cold
there for a good chunk of the year. On the upside, if this website is to
be believed they don't have the point system that a lot of other countries
have for immigration. When I was looking into it I was a bit surpised to
find that it would be easier for me (once I'm done with law school anyway)
to go to Australia than to Canada. Maybe Canada is tired of the American
refugees (there are supposedly more than one would think).
I have been out of the country for extended periods twice, and both times I
missed my family and the people I care about. I'm not sure permanent
relocation would be for me, but I have given it lots of thought.

Could you imagine if every American just started flocking to Europe...and
I'm not talking about the regular Americans.....I'm talking about the
Americans that we try to hide....You know the ones from Jerry Springer. MY
GOD, trailer parks would pop up everywhere, Euro-Disney would actually
start making money, people would lose interest in politics, the english
will put "izzle" at the end of every word, it would be the death of techno
music, Christina Aguilara will start singin in an english accent...ect.
There WoUld Be ChAoS....CHAOS I TELL YOU!!!!!
So where do I sign up?

the intelligent people seem to be moving out. Don't blame you for getting

lonesome. ____________________

Actually, I do know they're going to need manual laborers in the south
wales area, as they're building a... something, I forget what. They need
plumbers and electricians and what not. I think it might be the new movie
studios they're building, but I'm not sure.
So, you wanna be a welsh electrician?  ____________________
