if you could choose how and where to live ... (14)

With my faith in the so called "leaders" of the world to do more harm than good; with all the current and predicted climactic changes with all the viable negative scenarios, I would move to South America: Southern Brazil looks and feels like Switzerland, many European languages are widespread; dairy farming is the main legal economy; (illegally, it is bringing in stolen North American cars and selling them , especially into Paraguay...) Chile: again, most towns have Europeans there and basically all the same types of stores, lifestyles are though much easier; Argentina much the same; Paraguay: very laid back and fairly stable, lots of ex-pat Europeans also; reasonably easy to make a living there and land is still under a hundred Euros an acre in many areas...one absolute law there does hinder many form moving there, actually 2: you must learn the native Indian language and any children must attend Catholic school, though....there are tons of Amish and Mennonite farming communities there who have their own schools and do rather well. All-in-all, all are fairly nice to live in and there is always the excitement of a new revolution to stir thing up...%) Climate is great, though in higher elevations, because of the ozone hole, many herds, especially llamas, are starting to wear hats put on them by the farmers...
