Place We Love

Political bickering on this forum during the summer months is a tradition, but let's remember that we are united in the escape to the place we love, full of the people we love, and the lifestyle we love.

"Surfers are the ‘throw-aheads’ of mankind, not the dregs; they aren’t the black sheep of humanity, but the futurists and they are leading the way to where man ultimately wants to be. The act of the ride is the epitome of ‘be here now’, and the tube ride is the most acute form of that. Which is: your future is right ahead of you, the past is exploding behind you, your wake is disappearing, your footprints are washed from the sand. It’s a non-productive, non-depletive act that’s done purely for the value of the dance itself. And that is the destiny of man."

-Timothy Leary

Too many people wanting to point fingers and blame others. Nobody wants to look at themselves and consider if they are the reason where they are at in life. Somehow it always ends up being poor US policy. You get what you get in an open forum, even if I totally disagree with some things on here they’re at least good for a laugh.

Also consider the irony of an expat chat board infiltrated by toxic US politics. Isn't that the thing that drove us south of the border in the first place?

Could not have said it better. As they say in Montana, " We don't give a F--- how you did it in California" There is a lot to be said about such a comment. "Leave your baggage at home" is a tad nicer....
