How do you envisage your life in 10 years? What would you like it to be? Are you doing anything for it to be what you like it to be?

Is your current situation any close to what you thought it'd be 10 years ago? Why not?

The last ten years only brought recession, illness, persecution and murder. Events so random you couldn't make it up. Nowadays I'm happy if I can get my shopping home on time. All I know is that the next ten years will be a piece of piss relatively speaking.

Gals, of similar reasons I am hesitant to move to the usa, if I catch a 'young american'... What do one do, get private health insurance? and is that something I as a newly immigrated one can just buy over the counter? (if I even get a permission to enter usa as a permanent recidentii at all ever).

Well... I feel glad that I don't live in your world. Are you sure it's all doom and gloom? And the more important question: is it them or is it you?

would like the government to get the hell of my back and leave me be. I know what I do, and what I do is good for society. The children I learn to play chess will be better in things like science and maths. So they will be worthy and hardworking taxpayers.

Of course, everybody has to pay.
Actually in the Netherlands tax is the part of your salary you never see. Then there's tax on everything you buy, tax on everything of value that you own, tax from our local government we have to pay, extra tax on fuel, tobacco, alcohol etc. Even tax on fruits and vegetables, they want us to live healthy, well, make the healthy stuff cheap and things like coca cola, icecream, pizza and french fries, and every unhealthy thing expensive. They should do it world wide, see how many people loose weight in no time.

So you envisage the world to be healthier and fitter in 10 years? A very noble vision and I hope it comes true!

As to your government letting you be... if you pay your taxis and abide the laws, why wouldn't it?

Why it won't come true is because everybody is to busy collecting money, even if they have enough, they always want more. Even if they have more than they or their relatives can finish in one live they want more. People are so stupid.
Take a soccerplayer, making millions a year, and if they are very good they endure a lot of kicks on the legs from the opponent players. Some are kicked so often they are limping for the rest of their life. If I was a soccerplayer, I would stop when I had 2 or 3 million, that should be enough to lead a comfortable life. And I would still be able to walk without problems.
