Let's get the hell out of dodge

I have recently been profoundly influenced by a) John Steinbeck's 'Of Men and their Making,' b) Jonathan Miller's 'History of Disbelief,' and c) revisiting Hunter S Thompson via the movie 'Fear and Loathing,' and extensive articles on Wikipedia.

Conclusion

We is fucked!

American politics is so venal it is almost impossible to penetrate or investigate - the only hope being that it must begin to crumble from the inside and collapse and burn like a house of tissue paper soaked in gasoline.

British politics are so lame and wholly subjagated by American politics, that domestic issues are rendered virtually meaningless.

I am mindful of Billy Connelly - 'Don't vote for them, you will only encourage them.'

May I suggest a non-political, non-elective, secular community somewhere between Epicureanism and Philanthropic Socialism with Frank Zappa as posthumous head of state located in the highlands of Scotland or anywhere on the coast of Brittany.
