Where is the best place to be right now?

[Horse with no Name]

In a city or a rural area?
North or South?
East or West?

[lonestarnot]

1. Some place where the population is sparse. Reservation.

[Crayson]

2. I can recommend Iceland

Nice temperature, always light these days... no living soul for hours if you want

[Raven]

3. In the woods... with access to the Canadian border. nt

[annabanana]

6. Know any good deals on ND real estate?

That sounds far enough away from the ocean to avoid hurricanes and the flooding coming from global warming.

[Raven]

8. Gee, no, I'm in New Hampshire. I'm more afraid of the government

than I am of hurricanes or global warming at this point. I'm far enough inland to avoid most hurricanes and close enough to Canada to make a quick exit!

[shadowknows69]

7. I'm close, where are you Raven?

We'll go over together. I have a dog that will lead us right to any source of Canadian Bacon that she's within 20 miles of.

[Raven]

12. I'm in Marlborough, near Keene, southwest corner of the state.

We could also head to Vermont if Bush declares an emergency and won't leave. Vermont will surely become a separate country!

Between you dog and my two, we'll find plenty of bacon!

[shadowknows69]

13. I'm 30 miles from the ontario border in NY

that's problematic though because theres this little river called the St. Lawrence between us. Vermont sounds great.

[Megahurtz]

36. What you said. n/t

[demnan]

4. Near Washington, D.C.

so you can participate in the protest marches easily.

[jojo54]

5. From a childhood song.....

"In my own little corner, in my own little chair....."

[MuseRider]

10. Cinderella? n/t

[jojo54]

11. Not sure.

[toddaa]

9. Dead and buried

That's the safest place to be.

[shadowknows69]

14. probably in about 10 years it will be

[slackmaster]

15. Sitting on the throne with a cup of coffee and the New York Times

:D

[Horse with no Name]

17. You do know that is prime pickings for a heart attack?

:evilgrin:

[OnyxCollie]

18. Or a hemorrhoid. nt

[slackmaster]

20. Only if you include the optional cigarette

:argh:

[NeedleCast]

16. I'm pretty happy in the D.C area

Then again, I spend most of my time away from it for business travel, so I don't have to deal with the traffic on a normal basis.

[lazyriver]

19. Rural Maine for me

I can be at and paddle across the St. Croix River to Canada in about 45 minutes.

[Chichiri]

21. Probably Berkeley.

I'd move there if I could afford it.

[DemReadingDU]

22. Weatherwise, or politically?

or for your kids, or jobs? Not sure why you are asking, maybe I missed an earlier thread?

[B Calm]

23. Northern Minnesota would be my choice. Beautiful lakes, wilderness

wildlife, not very many people, democratic state, and close to Canada!

[Madspirit]

24. There is no good place to be right now

George Bush and his cronies have long arms.

Lee

[cherokeeprogressive]

34. I have a 30.06 with a scope. Those arms will have some pretty big holes before they get me.

GW ain't coming for me. Neither is big dick. Our long national nightmare will end on 1/20/2009. I'm sure of it. What I'm NOT sure of, is whether or not the next CE will have the balls and the backing of congress to make the turnaround in the face of corporate interests.

That's why I'll never again vote for a career politician.

[BeeBee]

25. I like it right here.

I'm in Northern California wine country.

[adigal]

26. I am close to Canada AND Vermont

I, too, am expecting my Vermont neighbors to do the right thing when Bush decides that he should be putting his fellow Americans into prisons with no habeas corpus. I hope that my NY is smart enough to join them, but with Hillary "who shall not offend anyone," and Chuck-y won't have the balls of Vermonters.

[debbierlus]

27. Berkshires in Massachusetts

Beautiful, not over populated, & LIBERAL as the day is long. Most blue county in the most blue state in the country!

Lots of culture, arts, theatre, & the most gorgeous scenery.

And, we are the only state which allows gay marriages & it is here to stay! GREAT place to live. Yes, the taxes are a bit high, but it is paid back in social service programs.

[blues90]

28. I don't know , I am thinking of

Building a hot air balloon even if it's out of trash bags and hitting the skys in search of a safe place . If the fight fails then I won't have anything to worry about anymore .

I seems pretty difficult to move to another country these days , you need lots of money , something I certainly don't have . You need a job and alot of other things .

[seriousstan]

29. I've got a great life going in Columbus, Ohio.

[IChing]

30. right now ?????......................DU of course

Later, maybe Madeira

[cherokeeprogressive]

31. Big Bear Lake, CA. I retired yesterday and am leaving Laguna Beach for there next week.

I bought a 3+2 with a two car garage. Lake view. 6700 feet above sea level, above the smog of L.A. Max temp ever recorded was 94 degrees in 98 and the lowest was -25 in 79.

I can already taste the trout...

So. If you ask me? High in the mountains of the southwest.

[Maru Kitteh]

32. Camping in Rocky Mountain National Park. In the back country.

The end.

[w8liftinglady]

33. if I won the lottery,I would set up a commune...place undetermined

[blogslut]

35. Paradise

Is exactly like where you are right now,
only much, much
better

Laurie Anderson - Language is a Virus

[EFerrari]

37. San Francisco isn't too bad. If things get scarier, I can always

start swimming.

[LWolf]

38. The best place to be for WHAT?

Just for quality of life? I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

[Blue Belle]

39. I'm thinking....

Watching the sunset over Lake Como, Italy...
sipping a fabulous glass of red...
with George Clooney rubbing my feet.

:)

40. Just for clarification

This post was purposefully ambiguous by design.
What does "best" mean to you?
When you think of living in a city do you think it is best because of mass transit--ways to save the earth...or worse...a target for terror?
Conversefly because of rural.
North or South because of proximity to Canada and Mexico? East or West because of danger to hurricanes, etc.
It comes down to what makes YOU feel best.
I feel I am in a safe place.
However, it is an economically depressed area with very little opportunity...but I have room for a garden if I desire. But I am so far removed that I spend quite a bit on fuel.
I'm not really sure if I am ready to trade my safe and secure surroundings for mass transit and an opportunity to make more money.
