Hello from my own personal paradise,

I hope you are having an excellent week. Every week down here in Acapulco is, for me, perfect. I have no complaints... and that is good, because half the people don't care about my problems and the others are probably happy I have them.

FUN AND GAMES WITH THE IRS

"...current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class - involving high meat intake use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work-place air-conditioning, and suburban housing - are not sustainable. A shift is necessary which will require a vast strengthening of the multilateral system, including the United Nations..." -Maurice Strong, opening speech at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development

It's one of the top questions we get.  If I expatriate, how can I make a living in a foreign country?  After all, not all of us have sizable amounts of savings that we can nestle upon.  In fact, most in the western world don't after they've had most of it siphoned off by the state.  And even those who think they do, and have a bank account flush full of green pieces of paper or who receive large government pension cheques backed by those same Federal Reserve Notes will soon find out that their "wealth" was illusionary.

Hello again from southern Mexico,

It's been a notable week.  First, April's Fools Day passed on April 15th... the day that US slaves are forced to turn over the fruits of their labor at the threat of force to a cabal of extortionists.  Then Dick Clark died... which means no New Year's Eve this year.  Well played Mayans.
