6. If you live there
you have to learn it to survive, so you will learn it in no time at all. It is a beautiful language. I was so looking forward to hear JK addressing the French in French!

3. The outsourcing of our citizens;

Disillusioned Americans eye New Zealand's alternative bush

Enquiries from Americans wanting to move to New Zealand have skyrocketed since George W. Bush was reelected president of the United States.


The Immigration Service website had 10,300 hits from the United States the day after the election, compared to the daily norm of 2,500.


Thousands of North Americans have migrated to New Zealand in recent years -- attracted by the country's small population, clean, green image of bush-clad mountains, and isolation from world trouble spots -- but the number now looks set to soar.

4. New Zealand is out if you're over 55
unless you have $1 million to invest--they are looking for people to establish businesses. Younger people have to meet the requirements for certain in-demand occupations and there is a limit to how many can come in per year--plus a waiting list.

5. ANSWER: blue state relocation initiative
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 03:05 AM by VivaKerry
Yes, I think ALL liberals (aka conscious people) should move to blue states, in droves. Make the blue states more an indigo, a glowing indigo.

I am indignant. Screw them. They are not pushing me from this country. For one, whatever the hell their morals are, they are founded on very, very thin ice which is due to melt. We know the foundation of the radical right of the republican party is founded on insanity, fear, intolerance, hate.. which is NOTHING in the great universe. It's all perceived. It isn't real.

And something that isn't even real is going to push me OUT of my country. I don't think so.

All libs should move to blue states. Let's make some paradises right here. And added benefit is that we remove the camoflouge of mainstream legitimacy that the fundies and radical rights and bigots use to LOOK mainstream. That's right, by mixing with them and putting our kids in schools with their kids and eating in the same restaurants and playing in the same parks, WE make THEM look normal,and they are enabled to continue to deny, deny, deny that they are backward thinking, closed minded rat bastards.

I say, stop providing camoflouge for THEM. Come on out to the coastal states and help us push them OUT of these coastal states. These fundies who are just so hellbent in moralizing to everyone can just go to Mall of America for their fucked up family vacations! Cause San Fran and Seattle and NYC and Portland and Santa Barbara won't be welcoming them!

I hate the fact that I am talking about 'us' and 'them' and have refrained from thinking like our georgie bush, but you know, I am sickened by this nation. They have made colored me as amoral because I think there should not be a need for food banks, because I think people should be free to love who they want and how they want, because I think bombing children is wrong. I am amoral? Well, fine. Then it's an Us vs. Them thing. But it gets played out on the soils of MY country!

Hence, the blue state relocation initiative!

Thank you, I feel a lot better after that rant.

Peace to all of US.
