Torn,
I think you need to live in another for a while to appreciate how fortunate you really are.
Firstly, judging where Melbourne, FL is located, you need to find a comparable climate because you couldn't cut it on a colder climate, otehrwise you wouldn't live in FL in the first place.
Secondly, you will need to find a country in this comparable climate - with the same standard of living that you are accustomed to living, otherwise what's the point.
Thirdly, this country will have to have a relatively stable economy, freedom of speach, the right to do whatever you want to do, and so on.
There are several other points that I should be mentioning here but what's the point really? Many of you Americans really don't have an appreciation for how wonderful your country really is. All you talk about are the lamest points. Take a look at the big picture sometimes to see the hidden truths.
If you feel that Bush or more capable than Kerry or less capable than Kerry than make your voice heard: Vote dammit!
(N.B. To Jim of Greenguy&Jim - just because I live in Canada does not mean I was born here. I was born in roslindale, ma but Dad got transfered up here 33 years ago.)
