MM, where I am, on the edge of Escondido, seems pretty much perfect, though I suppose some Pacific Ocean waves rolling in nearby would be better, and a Waitakere style golf course too. Plus an international airport just over the hills. Plus decent cyberspace connection instead of scavenging for wifi out in the gutter in residential streets. My other option is dial up, which blocks the phone line and is slower than a weak wifi connection. Are you suggesting there is somewhere even better than here? Washington? Peoria? Allendale? Pittsburgh? And, my idea for a Libertarian World Government is excellent, not nutty. Though I do love fresh nuts, which are impossible to come by in supermarkets. I want to start a fresh food business, firstly selling nuts, called "Mqurice's Nuts" but later actual fresh, properly fed hen eggs, tree-ripened fruit, picked that day vegetables, and actual fresh wild fish. I think it's an excellent idea which our [28 year old then] son suggested I call it. Mqurice

Maurice, your assertion that ANY kind of world government will be good for us is the nuttiest idea you've come up with yet. If you mean any kind of world government that has more than an infinitesimal chance of happening I would agree. I can think of theoretical ways that a world government could be set up that could be beneficial but the odds of any world government in the next 100 years are low, and the odds of a world government that actually amounts to a beneficial change for Americans are much lower still. A stable and effective world government with a high level of federalism/subsidiarity, strong rule of law, a fair degree of libertarianism might be beneficial but that's a little like saying that if pigs had wings maybe they would fly. It isn't going to happen in my lifetime.
