wired.com — I've had it with the rat race. I'm tired of scrambling to make a buck, tired of working for The Man. America is the unending hamster wheel to oblivion, where apparently you win if you die while in possession of a plasma TV, the fattest mortgage or the bitchinest Beemer ever. So, where to go?

Well, Japan is one of the best places in the world to be, but you have to work a lot.And if you already have some money and get a Canadian passport, I hear Cuba's nice.

hopefully the coming avian flu pandemic will solve this overcrowding problem (and lower the price of housing here in NJ)...

dracflamloc has never heard of the Amish, apparently. There are a million place you could move to and start a small, self-sufficient farm if you wanted. the problem is, farming is hard. it's SO much easier to sit at a cubicle 8 hrs a day. which is why so many of us do exactly that.

Welcome to modern slavery.Instead of chains and shackles, they figured out that mortgages, credit cards and having to own the latest bling make them far more $$$$$$$$$$$$$ than indentured servitude in the past.

Agreed. THe f**ker prolly is sitting in his New York loft in front of his own plasma TV thinking that "I'm special...I NEED these, the plebs dont"

Come up to Canada. There is a huge amount of land in the wilderness. You could easily set up a log cabin and live by yourself in our beautiful natural forests. You wouldn't be bothered by anyone.You'd have to know how to do it though.... Not everyone can live like that without some preperation. I'd love to do it some day....
