That gives me something to think about as your comments always do. I have been strongly considering relocating like I did back in 2001. I agree with you though, you can't truly escape it.
The 10 years I spent abroad allowed me to get some clarity of thought, but I came back, in part, because I knew there was more work to do.
Lately it seems like it's just getting worse and worse. All of the worst case scenarios keep happening. At some point, all the building pressure is going to need an escape. Somehow I doubt even global upheval will have much of an effect of the monsters at the top pulling the strings.
