I’m interested in this little town: Sagres. It is on the southern end of Portugal, and I am attracted by the fact that the west coast of the town is the Atlantic, and the East coast is the Mediterranean. Just…kind of cool. And it’s in a national park. Never been there; maybe it’s boring. But I’m interested. Also Lisbon.
I think I may go over there and travel before picking a location, but maybe I will apply for a teaching job and just go to wherever that is, and make my next move from there.
At the risk of losing a friend let me say something profound:
Since I’ve been posting on this board-like for a hundred years-I’ve noticed that 99.9 % of the political criticisms are directed at the democrats. A very, very, tiny number are directed at the Republicans. Might I suggest you and all others here move to the other side of the field?
It’s my observation that – on the web, and probably in real life, too – people notice the stuff they disagree with a lot more than the stuff they agree with. If you think about it, that makes sense for psychological reasons. Stuff that you agree with is unremarkable. Stuff you find objectionable is going to hit you 100% of the time.
And…I have to say, in light of that, I’m glad you still come to the board from time-to-time, W. I am sincere about that. You are a good voice here, and I always read what you have to say with interest.
Meanwhile…I agree with zn.
And I will also add that you will find more criticism of the US than of other countries. That’s not because we HATE the US. It’s because its actions reflect us. We are a part of it. Similarly, although we don’t identify with the Democrats, it’s the party that represents The Left politically. We criticize it because it disappoints us in that respect. The GOP doesn’t disappoint us. It does not stand for us in any way, and we don’t expect it to ever represent us.
But I think that you will find that every person in this forum agrees with Chomsky’s assertion that the GOP is the most dangerous organization in the history of the world. Without question.
Even if you drop ballots off in person — you still have to RECEIVE the ballots by mail, right?

vYes, unless you go to the precinct on Nov. 3. In WV, you can request your ballot right now, and voters will begin to be receive them on Sep. 19. You will get it in time. And probably WV is not going to be screwed with that much anyway as…you know.
It’s MI, NC, FL, PA, WI, and TX that are going to be screwed with. And apparently IL, CA, NY, and MA just because. It’s kind of pointless screwing with CA because even if they eliminated all of Los Angeles, Biden would still win this state by 3 million votes.
Well, who knows how WV would handle that. Each State might be different.

I will be hand-delivering mine to the County Clerk this year. In California, we are allowed to drop them off at a precinct on election day, but I don’t see that provision in WV. Not really an issue for you, though.
This…and the fact he is letting old people die from Covid…is going to drive down the number of votes he gets from retirees.
