Excellent point

I can't think of anyplace I'd rather live than the U.S., even if we elect a leftist. If the U.S. goes under--and I personally think it's still a long ways from that--there isn't anyplace else to go, frankly.

If I go any further West I end up in the Pacific Ocean. There isn't an option of taking a ship and waiting for the Statue of Liberty or the Golden Gate Bridge to emerge from the fog.

One reason I joined efforts to open space up in a big way thirty years ago was the recognition that our frontiers, both psychological and physical, were pretty much shot. Obviously, that isn't going to pan out any time soon.

The amazing thing is how many people will still tell you the U.S. is the worst country in the world. Even more amazing is how many of those people still live here.
