Will 2016 be the year you are a hero or a victim?
As we pause to enter another new year, there are many reasons in our world to have stress, fear, and anxiety. Here in the USA we seem headed straight into a tipping point of societal and economic collapse.
But isn't this exactly when those of us who can accurately and honestly perceive reality, analyze it, honor it, and act heroically stand the best (and only) chance at getti through these challenging times with our lives and values and integrity intact?
I'm also worried by the resignation and cynicism that I often see here within the online Gulch. If we continue to see the world fall apart in 2016--regress into statism, irrationality, and injustice--are we going to turn this Gulch into a forum for victimhood and commiserating? Or a bastion of strength, support, and a heroic sense of life?
I know the vision and direction that I have chosen for myself. I refuse to surrender to the forces of evil in the world. What is your vision and decision for 2016?

Hero!
Good Post thank you.
A. It's far less expensive especially medical
B. Where we are i'ts far safer.
C. With Amazon and the delivery service from a north of the border mail drop facility there's not much we can't acquire and truthfully not much I want.
D. I can still vote in the primary and general although I don't vote for the two Federal offices trying to help pump up the numbers to over 50% who don't care to have their vote stolen and twisted and corrupted by the winner take all looters. We're 44 to 46 percent of eligible voters at present.
That don't care to be restricted to voting for left wing candidate A or left wing candidate B. .
I don't consider the USA to be a suit able candidate for those who comment 'name a better place.' Most have never been anywhere else. But our crime rate is far less than any major city in the USA. So....
Granted that may all change but the rough part is up within 50 miles of the border and if it did worsen I live on a boat and can be gone within 12 hours mostly for stocking the larder and fueling.
Down we have people who are Ayn Rand fanaticos meaning fans. Seven to fifteen political parties versus one in the US, two if you count LIbertarians. If we can get gun runners out of federal office the US that will halt a what's left of the problem...which every area has.
Anyway those who dip their toe and go back north are usually just trying to retire and move south full time and figuring out how to protect what's left of their life savings after the DC government got down savaging the accounts. value. If they are done which isn't likely. The others are visitors who are trying to figure out why it's a better place to live.
Once they get past that name a better place they start smiling and ask where the nearest real estate agency might be found.
I'm not the only one in the Gulch who has learned to 'find a better place.' For me the USA priced it'self out of the market and I enjoy not living like a pauper. DB and KHalling a two more.
