Never been to Belize...will look into it.

@Namaste That had been suggested to me ..during bush jr’s second term.. Would very likely have bought a place, had I had the cash from the sale of mine…

Started with suggestions of Costa Rica, too many restrictions on - and an obvious profiting from ‘US expats.’ A former Peace Corps fellow turned me on to Belize, he loved it so much he spent decades there, after marrying a native.

Medical care in Mexico, stay away from the coastal towns. But watch out for roving drug gangs taking US expat hostages.. The place I was more than interested in was near an Amish compound, and I found that comforting, as we’d have had some things in common.

Actually though, glad I stayed in the US. As shitty as the butthole of Virginia (or darn close) can be, I like it, have met some wonderful like-minded people, and will make my stand ..if necessary.

How could I possibly fight at my age, and would I want to. I thought about staying in a territory rather than on the mainland and PR is closest.

@Namaste You can fight for the school board, the town council, a county supervisor/ commissioner… You can remain a tiny flame of reason. They may not be fights you win, but a way of making life count..

To me, the older I get - the more expendable I become. Weird, too, is the respect I appear to receive, even from ..detractors. Running lets them win. They don’t run when we win, they arm & organize. Maybe it’s time we match them..

Met a number of timid, fearful ‘democratic women’ recently, some trembling. Actually, they gave me strength - if they’re willing to make a stand, so am I ~

Wonderful what will happen to territories. It would start another world war.

@Namaste No world war, just loss of freedom in the country.
