I wish to God I could get my ex-wife to let me take my son to another country, away from the pressures that exist in this one. I love this country. But when you have a child and love that child, this country becomes a very scary place. I'd rather see my son live a nice, tranquil life as a postman in a country with no enemies, than to live the life of a billionaire in this country. We have been creating more enemies every single day.

Hell.. I can hear ya loud and clear and understand where you are coming from!
I don't live in the US now, but my experiences were not bad at that time tho I was shown some "not so good stuff" by .. "government officers" who ... I can remember the words *exactly* today from one of them. "I don't think any human being was mean't to witness this". But otherwise I liked the place.
Bottom line??? It's ALL about lifestyle and what "you" want!! :-) Some places are so far apart from "civilized societies" it is hard to believe they still exist.
We are based in one at the moment - and have to say the people are "genuinely" friendly and even the cops are friends who will get their jackets off to help. The whole aura is nothing like the US - it's the other extreme. There are actually more teachers than cops - it's just "different" and much more laid back.
I bought a lump of land here - we can see LOADS of wildlife - three types of monkeys, parrots, tucans and lots of other stuff. Right now - it's time to go on the horse along a totally deserted beach with palms along the shoreline - just a great place for kids!! :-) I wish to hell I'd made a move years ago! *lol* Ya have one life and every year/day matters :-)
It's also "excellent" for any webmaster!! Ya gotta do some persuading with your ex!!
