7. Get that gas mask you've been putting off buying.
8. Hoard gasoline.
9. Buy all the porn you can carry.
10. Borrow books from library before they're banned - Constitutional law books, Catcher in the Rye, Harry Potter, Tropic of Cancer, etc.
11. If you have an idea for an art piece involving a crucifix - do it now.
12. Come out - then go back in - HURRY!
13. Jam in all the Alzheimer's stem cell research you can.
14. Stay out late before the curfews start.
15. Get within 6 feet of a stripper in a state where it's still allowed.
16. Go see Bruce Springsteen before he has his "accident".
17. Go see Mount Rushmore before the Reagan addition.

Funny and a bit sad at the same time.

The USA - a civilisation in decline?

Nahhh... it's just us bad losers gnashing our teeth.

Anyway, there are those on the forum who would dispute that the USA was a civilisation in the first place. We know who they are. We know where they live. We're getting the smart bombs ready. Winker

Careful Deane

New Zealand is already very attractive. If civilization keeps declining, emigration could be very attractive! Big Grin

You're quite welcome here. Shania Twain has just bought up a couple of big farms down south.

I love immigration. Our country will be enriched by the inflow of other cultures.

You will need to have your black boxes converted though - a 240volt mains supply here.

We used to be 240v here to but we went half way with our Continental cousins who used to be at 220v.

We are now all at 230v.

Regards,

Steve.

My brother's been visiting the States for the last tenty years, often to see out American cousins. Three years ago he visited my sister, an Australian diplomat's wife, in Syria . Now he can't get a visa to the US because of that transgression.


Can you enlarge upon that? I don't see any place on the Visa application where you have to admit to having been to Syria.

I've been to Syria, I have a US Visa, I might want to go back to the US before my present passport with its Syrian evidence expires.

BTW Syria is a vile place. Go to Jordan instead, if you have the choice.

That's the kind of thing the Syrians do when they see a passport with an Israeli stamp. Pettiness abounds. We'll all need three passports, one for the Syrians, one for the Americans, and one for everywhere else.
