"Got any idea for a country to move to? Preferably one with a lot less Lawyers..." Well, mainland China and Cuba are two that come to mind... As well as many of the European countries. In the US, we seem to have an over-sufficiency of them. Sigh.

Jim asked: "Got any idea for a country to move to? Preferably one with a lot less Lawyers..." Well.. you could always move to Canada.. litigation occurs far less up here then in the US.. and in fact.. I believe lawsuits are examined more closely to see whether they are valid or frivolous... there always is talk of trying to avoid becoming the US in that regard. Of course.. moving up here means you'd have to also put up with a Universal Health Care System and gun restrictions and slightly higher taxes (which a majority of the population dont mind as long as they are used properly to fund social programs) and judging from what I've seen.. I dont think you could stomach it.. :) Actually.. if you moved out to western Canada.. you wouldnt be too bad off.. thats where the rump of conservative wackos mostly hang out.. primarily in Alberta and BC.. I am sure you'd feel right at home there where they always rail at the Federal Government and Eastern Canada in general.
