All I can say is that I know this Country is a choice Nation and it was the hand of providence that made possible its establishment. I have faith that said hand will preserve it (with the help of the newly awakened patriots). Well, you laid it all out there in a clear and thorough manner, thank you.

I lost track of the votes I cast for Norm Coleman and Al Franken still won. Always remember: two wrongs do not make a right, but three rights make a left. I’ve taken Jack’s advice but it didn’t work.

Who said third world politics need to stay off shore, we import everything else. The best advice is to vote early and vote often.

Argentina is much less expensive and very Euro centric (culture, not currency). However, Chile is much more stable politically and economically than Argentina and is essentially fully developed. Ecuador is currently denominated in U.S. dollars and is also very affordable. It's currently run by socialists, but they swap presidents and governments there like most people swap socks, so there's not telling who will be in power when you arrive. Columbia is beautiful, however the long-term stability will always be in doubt as long as drug trafficking is illegal and the criminals can use the proceeds to buy governments and nations. Peru probably offers the most upside economic opportunity. It has fully developed cities and just-developing remote communities, so it's a great mix of culture and levels of development. Depending on how things go with commodities, it could be the next Chile in terms of economic development. We haven't visited Brazil yet, but it obviously would be the best choice in terms of self-sufficiency and long-term upside potential. Be well, Doug Jack,

This budget doesn't represent my priorities or purpose, so what purposeful countries in S. America do you suggest? I will take my answer off the air and thanks for finding the gems you publish.

Our first business made us happy because we were self-employed and sustainable. But we grew to hate the work. Then we went on sabbatical, and through a mixed blessing of our dog getting bone cancer, we truly found what we love do to; building up our three legged dog site, <a href="http://www.tripawds.com" rel="nofollow">Tripawds</a>. Go figure! We have been working at Tripawds without any pay for the last 2.5 years. It's been the most gratifying work we've ever done! Lucky for us we've been able to live off savings during this sabbatical. But now, we're running out of money and we face the challenge of doing what we love while finding a way make a living from it. I hope we can make the two meet without endangering our love and passion for this community we've created. Doug, I love this post, thank you.

Some jobs I flat out hated, Collections. Currently I really like my job which I feel is a blessing. At times of course it is aggrivating but otherwise 90% of the time or more I like getting up and going to work, doing the job I have. In the end I think it's because I get to work with technology and I get to help people by fixing things. Few things are better then getting cartoons back on for the kids or the internet for a parent hoping to talk to thier kids in college. Things could always be worse, for sure right there.
