I've wanted to "visit for extended periods of time" for several years now. Even with an R in office, they're not conservative enough for me personally.

I know what's coming. Every waking moment issues that are completely opposite of my longfelt point of view will be not just out in the open but thrust into the faces of people like me that are not supporters.

It's not the goal of the opposition for us to accept them as equals, it's to punish us for what they consider injustices of the past. No thanks. There are productive things to keep me busy rather than being pissed off like many of the anti-bush people for the past 6 years.

Who knows? We may see a widespread support of a different sort of "community organizing" here in the future. In that case, my presence here may be more than expected.

Many people believe that there is a catastrophy in the near future whoever the pres is anyway. That seems pretty reasonable for me to imagine as we are trapped between lowering the Fed interest rates and tanking the dollar versus raising interest rates and tanking the economy. Either case seems like a party not worth attending.

Regardless of the current climate, I'll be for 2A, less taxes, more personal responsibility, less debt, less gov't.

Those values are trending downward at the moment. Life's a bitch.

Just be cautious of what you wish for.

Slang, it sounds a lot like you want to live on a compound, if you don't already...and you really should be cautious of what you wish for.

For the first time in my life the guy I voted for has been elected.

Yes we can.

For all practical purposes I live on a modest street in Manila. Life is much simpler there for sure.

It's not a compound. No turrets, no armor. Not a bad place to be in a time of social breakdown but that's not the design.

Life there is surely at a lower standard of living but there's much less conflict between people there and they are much more polite and respectful than many of the people that I run into here in the US.

As for what I wish for......fair enough. I'll consider it very carefully.

That should have been the mantra of the Demoncratic Party.
