I'm curious...how many people have their passport...(don't have to answer)...just incase things break down socially in America...and you must flee...
And of those who do, or plan on getting one...where would you go?
What other nation would you feel comfortable living in until things stabalized in America?
Also...does, or would your ethnic heritage effect where you went?
In other words...if An American Asian, would you feel comfortable going to Asia?
If European American, would you feel comfortable going back to Europe or Canada or Russia?
And if African American...where would you flee to if you had to leave American, and why?
Would you go to Africa? South America? Europe the middle East or Asia...?
As a African American, what country, outside of the United States, would you feel most comfortable residing in, if you had to flee America??
Or how about Native American Indians...what other country, outside of your homeland, would you feel most comfortable living in??
Me and mine (and that is an awful lot of mine let me tell you) would go to the Philippines. We have discussed it several times recently, and everyone who did not already have a passport has gotten one within the last year. Yes, we are ready to bail if things should get to the point where there is no reason to remain any longer.
I can understand why Costa Rica is popular but it already is being overrun with Americans, I would think the natives would feel as though facing another "Manifest Destiny" land rush. Americans, considering official U.S. policy towards Central America in the past 4 decades, should not be popular anywhere in this part of the world. These people are way more tolerant than Americans, (as well as being tolerant of) and I find them to be like people from other parts of the world: Genuinely friendly and helpful. Always worth noting that Costa Rica does not feel the need for an Army. The country crawling with U.S. military bases, Colombia, is a no go zone in this part of the world. Where there are no U.S. bases you can find the most peace in Central and South America.
People can get along even if their governments hate each other (or, in this case, even if your government is occupied by people exhibiting criminally insane behavior in their decision making)

Yes, I think everyone should have one...better to have, and not need, than to need and not have...
You just never know...a day could come where they put a moritorium on passports and stop issueing them...you just never know...
The world is constantly changing...the constitution was created by man, and therefore can be destroyed by man as well...
Nothing is perminant or concrete on this planet...a good strategy is to keep all options open...
Neither can I. I've been reading through the thread, and I haven't seen any explanation of the event(s) or circumstance(s) that would compel Americans to leave the country.
Ah! That explains it!
And I kinda feel sorry for people with such a large measure of fear in their lives.
As for me, I've had a passport for years, but I cannot imagine living in any country other than the US of A.
I agree, would never want to leave this country and would not want to live anywhere else. It case of a catastrophe, however, just thinking of another best option... for me would probably be New Zealand or Australia.

I said the North Pole because it's going to be the place with the fewest people to deal with in a crisis situation.
But realistically, I'd go to Europe, I've already got a home there.
