Well as screwed up as our country has become I still can't think of a better alternative.  God help us all If it ever does get to the point where some other country is more appealing.

I lived pretty high on the hog on a fraction of my current income in Kenya & Cyprus. Great healthcare, good food, reasonable security. I'd rather live here, but honestly home is becoming unrecognizable.

I've read up on european destinations to immigrate to if it all hits the fan.. anyways, denmark looks good.  they want people to learn the language and culture and get a job- if not successful in six months then the immigrant is deported.

no bs from immigrants, assimilate or get the **** out now.  like our nation should be.  if I could take my guns and actually use them in europe I might look harder.

I know a lot, and I mean a lot of retired military that now live in foreign countries.  Most in Mexico, then all through Southern Asia.  Thailand, Viet Nam, The Philippians, Indonesia, and India.  But as far as I know none have given up their citizenship.

I go and visit some of the people in Mexico.  The ones that live near the coast like to fish so they do a lot of fishing, or sitting on the beach drinking beer or sun tea.  One family lives in the mountains just south of Arizona.  Where they live there is lots of grass and cooler temps.  He goes hunting quite often, the rest of the time he sits on the veranda watching the sun come up or go down, real hard life.  His wife is the one that loves horses, and that keeps her busy, and out of his hair.  Both of their kids are grown and gone years ago.

One of the things they all have in common, they all live in a location where the economy is a lot lower than here in the US.  They are living comfortably and in some cases well on their retirements.
Where is old Joe when we really need him?  Alaska Independence    Calling Illegal Immigrants "Undocumented Aliens" is like calling Drug Dealers "Unlicensed Pharmacists"
What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Now that is the attitude I'd like to see America adopt. Especially, learn English, speak it, or GET OUT. POWDERMAN.  :o :o

It doesn't cost as much to practice medicine there, and no government involvement. Cash is king. I knew europeans that went there to get care they couldn't get in their own countries. Yeah, not every citizen has access because there are a lot of poor folks in Kenya, not so much Cyprus.

I certainly hope when all the dust settles you all end up with a good system whatever type it may be. ;)
