Really... the USA ain't that great a place! Canada is mind you!

There are myriad places in the USA that are gorgeous, and I never tire of
visiting them. And the job/career/business opportunities here are
probably
greater in number and scope than those in Canada. But neither is really
important. I simply don't want to be told I cannot go someplace where I
should reasonably be able to go. So far I haven't found such a place.

Try taking a sailboat to Cuba..... yeah, I know, you don't actually
want to go there, so it doesn't count. Riiiiiight.

First: I'd love to sail to Cuba, and plan to do so someday. Second, I am
able to sail to Cuba, provided I spend no money there, and have a sponsor
who lives there. Both points are easily dealt with, especially if one
doesn't mind jousting with the INS upon returning to the US. Third, I can
always drive into Canada and take a flight to Havana.

Oh, OK - you define going thru all that crap as complying with
'reasonably be able to go'. I don't. Doubt many other people would
agree with you, either.

Want me to bring you
some good cigars?

Nah, I got a brain and quit smoking 30 years ago. Send them to Donal,
he'll need them to soothe his outrage when smoking is banned in public
places over there soon. He won't be able to dump his butts on the
beaches any more.
