[Leica] good old censorship

I'd reconsider immigrating  if I were you. Trying to escape police state 
tactics by moving to Spain could be a mistake. I've not been there in 30 
years but do remember cold hard stares from  Guardia Civil.  When the 
police prowl the streets with Uzis I'd be careful of demanding my 
"rights". :-)

Still yet,  I agree with you about  our current state of affairs. The 
real issue though? Where the hell does one go? Perhaps  the Scandinavian 
countries  are more tolerant of  individual  rights? Perhaps we'd die of 
boredom as well. France is not a bastion of individual rights and 
England seems to have followed our Patriot Act lead. 
China?beheaded...Russia?disappeared...Japan? Too polite...Africa? 
Lions,tigers and bears (plus too many damn snakes)...Italy? Too 
fattening... Germany? Too cooperative... The darn list is endless. I 
would  have suggested Australia until reading  Hoppy's post. His 
rationale concerning the need to sacrifice for security scared me.  
Hoppy, have you been secretly writing press releases for the Bush 
administration? :-)

Peace
