POLL: If you are considering leaving the country, WHERE TO?

[Double T]

1. I am planning on going to the moon...........

......as long as Howard Stern and Arnold Schwarzenegger have not blown it up.

[CoffeeCat]

11. Anyone remember the articles about Alexander Abian---

the professor who wanted us to think about the possibility of removing the moon? Abian suggested that without the moon, you could "straighten up" the Earth and remove its tilt to 0, thus eliminating destructive weather and creating paradise on our planet.

Your comment made me think of that.

Anyone else remember this guy?

2. Costa Rica

[MercutioATC]

25. Me too! 10 years, 330 days.

That's when I'm elegible to retire. I'm stuck 'till then.

Looking at land near Matapalo (on the Osa Peninsula).

3. I think it would be kinda neet to live in Ireland or Scotland

I would love the landscapes and I might be able to secure a decent job because the IT stuff is blooming there.

[davidinalameda]

4. I still want a sexy Spanish man or Canadian man to marry me

so I can emigrate

[Touchdown]

5. No choice for central, so I said Western Europe.

For now, I still love my country and feel I should stay, but I would love to visit Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Croatia and a few others to witness the fresh exitement of people getting involved in their own politics. I'm just afraid that I wouldn't want to come back. A teacher of DOD schools (army brats) in Germany says both she and her husband don't want to return to the US when he retires. She told Mike Malloy (Monday, I think) that there's quite a few service members and families that see fascism growing here, and they see and experience freedom there. I can understand that, having been to Europe on extended stays twice before.

6. Costa Rica or if I win the Lotto

Barbados with half the year spend on a cruise ship... :silly: :bounce: :silly: :bounce: :silly: :bounce: :silly: :bounce:

[Coastie for Truth]

7. I go to Vancouver BC frequently on business

it's what I always imagined (from the Rust Belt) that San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle were really like.

[hobbit709]

8. Austria

I was born there, my mother is Austrian and I can still claim citizenship.

[Selteri]

9. It's slwoly becomming harder and harder to shift your assets

Out of America. At the moment if you want to deal with banks you have to really shop a lot harder if you want to move any kinds of savings overseas. Personally I would prefer to have something in Central/South America and something else in Western Europe in the Neutral/Peaceful/Small nations where I would want to live more normally. There is a great temptation to get out of this country before it gets really bad.

[UdoKier]

19. Luckily for me - no assets.

FIL has a condominium and a plot of land in the 'burbs. We can build a house on it for a fraction of what it would cost us anywhere in CA.

[sinkingfeeling]

10. Republic of Ireland....rated again as best country to live in!!

[paineinthearse]

12. I'd head to the Peoples' Republic of Vermont nt

[sarcasmo]

13. Oshawa, Ontario sub of Toronto been there many times.

I am close enough to the border living in Michigan. I am waiting for the 08 election. If a Repuke like Frist wins, the Theocracy is on the march and I am going to march right out of this Country.

[Railroader]

16. The 'Shwa????

I've lived in Oshawa for close to 30 years. I find it really hard to believe that Oshawa is somebody's dreamland. What with the post-industrial wasteland of the down-town area where the old GM plants were or the scary public housing developements of the south end. Even Whitby would be nicer.

To each their own, but it's great to hear that somebody thinks well of my hometown.

14. Ireland

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Ditto

[rockedthevoteinMA]

21. Me too. I was told by my grandmother I can get citizenship too.

If that doesn't work out, I would love to go to Venezuela, though I think the anti-American sentiment may be getting up there. Don't know about that though.

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. Well, I can't get into Ireland on ancestry, but my Nana's father

is from there so I already warned her that I plan on delivering her to her dad's homeland and then staying. ;)

[slackmaster]

15. Had to say Mexico rather than Canada

Mainly because I speak the language there.

:D

[Zorra]

20. Speaking the language really increases your options and quality of

life in Mexico and Central America. It sure has for me.
:hi:

[OnionPatch]

18. New Zealand

It looks like a beautiful place where I one can live in the country (rural areas).

I don't really know enough about it though. I'd hate to move there and find out they're more right-wing than we are!

Our plan is to move to northern CA to be around more like-minded people. If it gets worse, though, in the next 5 years or so, we're outa here.

23. Il n'importe ou hors du monde!

24. I have dual Italian-US citizenship, thanks to my

Great-grandfather never becoming Naturalized. I have been seriously thinking about moving to Europe. I can work in an EU country. I would love to go to Ireland, but the quarantine for my kitties would be way too long. Ditto for Great Britain. So.... I'm not sure. I could teach English in Italy for a while, but my Italian is poco and molto malissimo (I think that's right!)

But, at least I have an escape.
