http://www.fredoneverything.net/Guad.shtmlI was in Tommy's Bar the other day when a horse stuck its head in the door. The owner knew Tommy and wanted to talk to him. The horse apparently wondered what was inside, and stuck its head in to look. It seemed reasonable. It was how I would have done it.
If you even rode a horse in Washington, you'd need three permits, a parade license, turn signals, and a horse diaper. The paperwork alone would require help from an accounting firm. They'd x-ray the horse for explosives. It would probably mutate and turn into a huge gurgling cephalopod.
In Mexico, you get on a horse and point it where you want to go. Nobody gives a damn. It's a horse.
A lot of things work that way in Mexico. I was in a restaurant on the plaza when a woman came in with her dog. It curled up under the table and occasionally cadged bits of enchilada. It's what dogs do. It's OK. In the US, people keep dogs in their houses for years and nobody dies.
If the same dog came into a restaurant in Arlington, a SWAT team from Public Health would storm the place in funny-looking gas masks, confiscate the dog for analysis, and seal the premises for forty years. The United States can't tell a pup-dog from the Black Death.

You don't need to move to live simply.
The dominant paradigm needs no further subversion.
There is no retreat but in submission and slavery!

Move to Mexico. Learn to speak Spanish. Find a nice little village that's America circa 1950. Live good on your retirement pay. Escape the empire. http://www.fredoneverything.net/ExpatGuide.shtmlFor what it’s worth, the country seems to appeal powerfully to those who want to be left the hell alone. The United States tries to control your every move, thought, and minute. Here in Mexico, unless you break a major law or do something awesomely stupid, the government isn’t much interested in you. This lack of interest is perhaps government’s greatest virtue. Mexico is a third-world country that is controlled to a significant degree by drug cartels. Damned expensive, but if you can afford it, the U.S. Virgin Islands look pretty good to me.

Something that I have no ambition to do. As for expense, it depends on your desired standard of living. American dollars buy more in Mexico than they will in Washington D.C.

Seems reasonable enough. ![[Linked Image]](http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h225/FalMike/mexicohotel_zpsfywgdhrd.jpg) A cheap hotel, somewhere. Whatever Mexico´s faults, and God knows they are legion, it hasn´t yet been completely swallowed by Hodiday Inn. It´s still Mexico. And for twenty bucks a night, I can´t kick.http://www.fredoneverything.net/00Uncle%20Fred's%20Mexico/UFM%20Columns/OutandAbout.shtml

This entire thread is about trying to dodge the effects that is happening in our country....
instead of running away from it all, we need to start grouping and fighting this crap at every turn....
all of these leftist liberals are really small in numbers.. they are just loud because they have big mouths....
and the people in the middle that follow them only do so, because they are paid off by given welfare, not having to work, and the legalization of drugs...
The Welfare Spickett needs to be turned off, drugs made illegal and their abuse taken seriously and laws enforced, and people put in a position that they have to be responsible for themselves, our borders have the welcome matt removed, and immigration laws enforced....
Criminals need to be prosecuted and jailed....
This country is the way it is, because as the saying goes... "Evil comes when good men do nothing"... Good men have done nothing but stand down for the last 30 plus years....

Ya want cheap motel rooms, right on the Colorado river? Loaded up the Harley in the pickup, and spent a week or so there when it's freezeazz cold here several times. River view rooms midweek are a real bargain, and weekends ain't bad. Ride your scooter in a tee shirt in the winter. Laughlin

Whichever State, there have to be mountains...not mid-western, Texas, or eastern hills...MOUNTAINS!

Any state where you have low taxes, strong 2nd Amendment support, and conservative values. Welcome to Oklahoma!
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

90% of the members here on the freakshow would be miserable anywhere they moved, just because they log on here every day.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

y'all are gonna change your lifestyle drastically or be outlaws.
neither is a bad choice.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Stay out Wyoming at all costs, you will not be happy here. Winters are long and cold, they start about the 20th of August and last until around the 1st of June. Summer is usually the 7th of July and maybe the morning of the 8th. The wind blows incessantly, 24-7, a calm day is when you can keep your hat on your head without a chin strap. There are no cultural events like cello recitals, gay poetry readings or book signings by liberal activist movie stars. This is due to the fact the natives HAVE no culture, they are all a bunch of beer swilling, tobacco spitting, gun toting ignorant rednecks to whom getting dressed to go out to dinner means a clean pair of jeans and a shirt that's been ironed , and never mind the cow manure on the boots. We have been "discovered" by Californians, refugees from Seattle and Portland, along with a whole herd of citified folks from Back East. This has driven real estate prices out of sight, I just last week saw a 1/4 acre lot with an outhouse and a wall tent go for $350,000. Fishing and hunting truely suck, you cant wet a line or walk in the woods without getting run over by a 4-wheeler with a Colorado license plate. Plus, there’s a real good chance you will perish in the volcanic explosion of the Yellowstone caldera.
No, better you should go to Montana, I hear it's real nice up there.

I am more than pleased with my selections of the Texas Hill Country and the far north Idaho panhandle from where I type on my iPhone.
