I am remarkably unstuck Snowy. Right now in York, England. Soon to be in south of France. Stopped in at Singapore and Sydney without fear of rendition. Have been to New York a couple of times too. Can live in other countries and not have to pay tax in NZ. Americans should be so free. I can travel without having to wear a Canadian flag [to pretend I'm not American -- the NZ flag attracts little hostility]. Heck, I even managed to visit Beijing and survive, though the plain clothes police in Democracy Square aka Tienanmen Square were hanging about listening in to what I was saying to a group of visiting Chinese. They are very sensitive about any groups forming in Freedom Square [another name for the place]. Kiwis travel. Peripatetic is the word. They get into the oddest places, including the cockpit of flight 93 as it crashed. <I would feel claustrophobic too if I was stuck in a little country like New Zealand. ;)> You are right - we soon reach the edge of the country and having all had migratory ancestors, most get the urge to carry on. Americans can live their lives in the USA and it's so big they need never cover the same ground twice. Because the USA is so large, Americans tend to learn little about other places. Some of them know where Canada is [kind of north] but few would have heard of Andorra or Luxembourg, let alone to have visited them. You really would like Tradable Citizenship. You would keep all the benefits you already have, and add a big load of value to your personal assets as well as adding the right incentives for people to vote more sensibliy. Mqurice
