Heh austrailia already sounds awesome.... Im moving, what a cool kick
back country it sounds like I would love it there, but I am pretty sire
jamaica or some country would also be as laid back about the whole
thing. Here since the computer companies RULE the politicians and the
stock market blather they have influence and can make the laws quite
harsh through manipulation of theyre 'friends' the senators and whatnot,
what a great country eh?
