Bits and pieces here and there. Alas, there is no real paradise anywhere. One thing people seem to be good at is finding something to gripe about. > Stewart is certainly right about one thing, "Humans can survive quite > a lot of unpleasantness." Just look at the typical SoCal resident. Yup. I want a relaxed pace of life, stable power, smooth roads, great medical, relatively corruption-free police, military, and government, good neighbors, high bandwidth, low latency, good wine, good tequila, good food, safe milk, limited or no tobacco smoke, clean water, surperb sanitation, mild weather, stable geology, trees, no smog, harmless vermin, and register-rich big-endian processors. Naturally, I have to compromise a little. That's life. > As far as I am concerned most of you guys have crappy > lives compared to my poor relatives in the Philippines. At least > they are not chained to doggy 9-5 lives, endless mortgages, > car payments, and commutes that numb the mind and soul. Well, not 9-5, no car payments, and my 'commute' is ~2 miles. Which I have walked more than once (but should do far more often). Can't dispute the mortgage, however. But three out of for ain't too bad. :) > Strange how comparatively happy (and free) they are in their > ignorance of your awesome government coddled superiority. Well, different strokes for different folks. If I lived in the backwaters of the phillipenes, I'd most likey be dead, so I don't really see that as a plus. In the grand scheme it's probably not important, but on a personal scale, it's right up there. From what my sister described of the climate in the phillipenes, I don't think I'd enjoy living there. "Steamy" isn't really my style. And I hear that malaria isn't very pleasant either. It'd be a funny old world if we all liked the same things. -Stewart "I don't like fish or coconut and swimming is bad for me" Stremler
