Rising dishonesty level
[email protected] remarks about the rising level of dishonesty in
(presumably) media/political circles:
*It's bad* I once had a faint hope that a change in administrations
would reverse the tide. I'm over that now. People from eastern
Europe recognize a lot of what they see developing here, as a recent
poster noted.
jimn8 further wonders if anybody knows a better country to live in:
I know of several that are less intrusive in your private affairs.
Unfortunately, it's hard for an American to find work in most of them.
I've made up a list of decision rules about when it's time to flee
to the first place I can find "three hots and a cot" (Places like
Belize, for instance). Try compiling your own list, it's an
interesting exercise.
My rules:
It's time to leave when...
... I can't say what I want.
... I can't own a gun.
... I can't use good crypto.
... I can't leave and enter the U.S. freely.

Somewhat related: Does anybody find it interesting that no one noted
for over a decade that Ames had (1) a lavish lifestyle and (2) a foreign-born
(Colombian!) wife. Normally, spooks aren't allowed either.
A cynic might say that the lavish lifestyle was overlooked because it was
attributed to the Colombian connection, and not to the other
extracurricular activities.
