I love New Zealand, the breathtaking natural beauty, the mostly open and friendly people and my own history here create a real bond with the place, but all my adult life I have felt oppressed by an ever increasing multitude of laws, regulation and bureaucracy, and it is increasing all the time. I have witnessed the slow erosion of freedom, of the old New Zealand of my Grandfathers day. I have seen the nanny state welfare and 'education' systems turn a large portion of our young adults into helpless unskilled and unmotivated state dependants.

The trajectory is clear.  Painfully clear.

The US government is so beyond bankrupt it isn't even worth belaboring the point.  We've spent the last five years here doing so.

What is more important, if you are an American who still has most of your assets inside the US, is that the walls are closing down around you at an unprecedented rate.  Nearly daily the proof continues to mount.

The world of media has changed dramatically in the last twenty years thanks to the internet.

Harking back to the pre-internet days, in 1989, after having begrudgingly completed my twelve years of being in an indoctrination camp my mother chided me that I "had" to go to College.  I told her that I just wanted to get out there and do something… I didn't need four more years of being unproductive and "learning" mostly useless things but she demanded that I must go!
