Great synopsis! lol Never heard of the book, but I'll check it out. :) (Just did a library request for it...and speaking of which...I have to read Agenda 21 within the next week...so I know what I'm doing this weekend...along with eBay...and gulching of course.)

:( I hate that I miss fun in here. But some of us have to work for a living! (And look for indoctrinations). What post was all of this happening on...I feel like I need to get caught up.... (Where is Lost? Physically I mean.)

yes. we know he is well dressed and has good hygiene. he is also efficient. and gives good customer service. and he is straight.

obsessed with the star wars thing, which I cannot abide, I left out nonmooch. her husband is testifying on Monday. we want her or someone to tape. we need a legacy. like Euda did, the taping is proof . also Overman agreed that a book we should read is 5000 year leap, God is involved. OA said swap out God for natural rights. that has started a discussion. all is well in the Gulch

Downtown abbey. I'll check it out. those moms. bless their huge engines of individualism and production. we had a good day in here. uncommon and OA and DK and kathy and terrycan, well there was a momentary lapse into star wars-I left during this-and there was rebirth-a few newbies asserted their points. in general, all gulch fields were fertilized and watered and waiting for tomorrows sun-is it already here, lost?

ub!---- Perhaps I should not be speaking to you then..... Once a moocher.....
(That's actually pretty funny. Bigjim calling you a moocher. Does anybody know anything about Bigjim....besides him being big I mean...)

I'm sorting eBay finds...My Mom, God bless her, did all my GW shopping this weekend because I was living it up in a cabin on a hill. And I'm also watching Downton Abbey. When I watched it a while back I though it was only a mini series. I just found out it's a series series and I'm years behind!
No new indoctrination, that I'm aware of....
What you up to?
(Poor Tenacious....never talks...just voyeurs. Hey Ten!!....what's the haps??!!!)

today, I had to lose status as a producer for like 5 minutes while I updated CC info due to the recent theft. bigjim called me a moocher. it didn't last long and I've forgiven him. :)

look, we're the only ones on. Tenacious is fixing dinner and layin out the cheerios for fine motor skills. sigh. what should we talk about? any new scholastic indoctrination today?

can't you do that offline? lol. dk

K?

also, I DO NOT HARP

I understand there is no one perfect place for everyone.
as far as owning land goes, when the fabric of society falls apart, legal ownership has very little meaning and does not give you the ability to doe the things you talk about. property rights depend on the fact they will be govt respected/enforced. I'm not saying this isn't an option for many, but when society breaks down, weigh chances. one cannot pick up land and move it with them. many govts rely on this fact as a way to enslave. just my opinion-good luck with your endeavors

I think in this case it was K. he has a point. snicker

Lol!

Who's point knocking....again??

eeewwww

didn't mean to, just looked at the website and responded to what was listed there that I saw. I like that Belize has british common law, but it is a very corrupt govt, with lots of minutia that must be attended to in only one city in the entire country. I would be interested in knowing where you were looking there, just for curiosity sake. I didn't see from the site any information on the other countries. also, my comments on this thread stand about owning property during a very precarious global financial situation. the idea of a gulch subdivision seems , well, weird. but by all means, make your case for it.
I did not knock a point off for your 1st comment btw

A lot of people do not have the time or money to globe trot and stay in foreign countries long enough to make a determination about whether one place or another is a good place to live. But, like with finances, investments etc, we pay attention to people who have used some of their wealth to visit other countries and talk about what it's like to live there. Argentina isn't known for the stability of government, but Doug Casey went ahead and built La Estancia de Cafayate there, and it has performed extremely well. Jeff Berwick in Acapulco and in Chile... You can harp about your disagreement with those choices and take solace in the fact that no one is forcing you to move to any of those places. But I would wager that you're not anywhere near as familiar with these developments as you are your talking points against them. No place is perfect.

As far as owning land goes, it's one way to ensure you have the right and ability to make the land produce what you need to survive; food, livestock, sale crops, well-water, and provide you a place you can capitalize on natural energy sources like solar, geothermal and hydroelectric so that, when the collapse occurs, you don't go hungry or have to live like a caveman.

While it's true that Costa Rica is a socialist country, they also have no standing army. Their tax policies concerning foreign-earned income are rather favorable (not quite as nice as Panama, but...), as are the property tax policies toward corporately-owned property, as you have to buy them being a foreigner. Additionally, Costa Rica produces 90% of it's energy needs from hydroelectric, has extremely fertile soil, plenty of rainfall... You ignored the other countries I listed... Not sure why.

You ever hear the bunga bunga joke? 3 guys get captured while roaming through a jungle. First one gets put before the chief, and is asked, "Death or bunga bunga"? The guy doesn't want to die, so chooses bunga bunga. The tribesmen all have their way with him. The second is asked the same question. He also chooses bunga bunga. The chief comes to the third man, and asks, "Death or bunga bunga"? The man has no interest in living through bunga bunga, so chooses death. The chief announces, "Ok. Death! By bunga bunga"!

Mmmmmm, sounds REALLY appetizing! ;-p

Yes, the impatience with the Girondins brought about the excesses and repercussions of Robespierre and the Jacobites, and then an even worse status at the hands of people like Vadier, Bilaud-Varenne, Elie Lacoste… Though the people were tired of the terror they were swayed by the same populist, egalitarian arguments we hear. In the end they replaced one tyranny for another. There was a moment in time when they could have moved beyond… When the moment arrives one must take hold and not let go!

Santiago Chile has the highest standard of living and lowest crime rate of any city in South America.
