Go away for a few years and the talk has now shifted to starting your own country.....my buddy went down that line. 'Man on the Land' and such.....refused to pay his mortgage because "the banks don't technically own it"....worked for about six months until the sheriff kicked him and his family out of his house and seized their car. Instead of declaring yourself an independant country, you should check out a wonderful investment property we are considering. It has tons of historical data....lots of informales digging, a really good veiw of the property on Google earth.....but most importantly.....no drill results. It's a great place to rebuild your online reputations......dream up some new DD as a group, without the distractions of impirical evidence and under the radar of Warren Buffett/Harper/Illuminati types. Our crack managment team of the local butcher shop owner, my drywaller, and the tim hortens assistant manager vow never to actually drill, thereby keeping the dream permanently alive... We promise to communicate through hidden messages in newspaper articles hinting at how big it may be to further guide your DD. A real Easter egg hunt.....for those who enjoy ''reading between the lines' But in turn if you could overlook our extravagant expenses for say.....3 years, and label anyone who brings up such topics as 'basher' or 'online bully' that would be greatly appreciated..... We will be sure to toss tidbits of rumours of takeover bids, and security kicking barrick of the land and such (never officially of course) and you guys can run with it and add it to the list of 'DD' It will be a symbiotic relationship....and rest assured, never ever will there be drill results issued. I mean the army would probably step in anyway as it would have the potential of destroying the entire financial system. If that one doesn't work (history has proven otherwise) then we can form a new country...."Canada 2" or "mothership" The capital would be "sandy veiw" of course :)
