Yeah, the more I think about it, seems like disappearing into the Australian outback might be the best way to avoid the shit that's coming.

Cool, that would be like Mad Max though!

What are you worried about? If your a Ron Paul supporter, you'll be fine as long as you find other Ron Paul supporters in your area. We aren't exactly the ones with our pants down in such a situation. The SHEEPLE are.

Just please, bring your own gun and ammo, be ready to move (just in case), and be ready to work (get a trade skill going too).

Which certainly tends to imply there can be to LITTLE govt., contrary to what seems accepted here.

Well as long as they dont insist on knowing where you are at every second of every day, youre a lot better off. Privacy is one of those things you'd have to consider in regards to where else in the world you would want to live.

Looks like Greece is the sole winner. I'm game. I've been to Cyprus a few times and really liked it, although I hear that they've just elected a communist as president. Not really any different than anywhere else, I'm afraid.
