I was watching TV this morning, and I saw an ad for Vegas. It was the one with the husband asking his wife if her and her friends "got wild" while they were in Vegas. The wife says she did, and took out expensive clothing, implying that she meant she got wild with the credit cards, or something to that effect. At the end of the commercial, the white letters on the black background says 'Our fabulous shopping can be your alibi.' This truly just makes me sick to see commercials like these. I miss the days when adultery was illegal...

I don't know. I guess if a man's apt to be an adulterer...let him show his true colors where I can see them. That way at least I know I can't trust him.
Making it illegal would show more morality on the part of the majority, however...in which case the majority would be far less apt to commit adultery...

Who's for moving to the moon? Or perhaps just a remote bit of Canada...

Not a big fan of Canada. Canada is cold. I'm moving to Scotland and creating a new province there where motor vehicles are banned and everyone will go back to the simple way of life that they once knew. Though there are parts of Scotland that are like that still...

Didn't you just get done blasting the idea of having a strong haven away from evil men?

Well, I think Wyoming. Would be best. Very desolate in some places and perfect weather. Of course, we'd have to move it to New Zealand in the north-of-the-equater Summers.

Wonderful as the moon sounds, Sheamus is in Scotland.

<laughs hysterically, eyes amused but also deeper> Yes, child. But there's no H in Seamus.
And yes, I did just get done blasting the idea of a safe haven away from men. However, we weren't talking in the realistic sense. Note that Alameth started talking about moving to the moon. How soon do you honestly think that the general public will be allowed to move to the moon?
Besides, I didn't say that there would be no other people there.
So...what makes Scotland better than the moon for me, child? I have no Seamus.

Scotland's gotten all liberal.
But then again when you try to live like that in this country, the government shoots your wife in the face from extreme range with a sniper rifle in front of you and ya'lls children. After shooting your fourteen year old son in the back. (Ruby Ridge, anyone?)
Or does their best to burn all your friends, women and children included, alive. (Waco!)
So maybe we skip America. It's unhealthy to try and live a life quietly, away from the rest, here. Maybe Scotland's government is so liberal they'd leave you alone.
Sorry for taking such a dour tone. It's just that reading these ideas reminded me of those things...and I desperately do not want them to die in history as so many other things have. I watched that compound burn on television when it happened. It was no less horrific than 9/11...so sorry for ruining the happy mood here.

the government can ignore me, or shoot me if they'd rather. As long as it's in Scotland. Seamus is in Scotland. So is this red-headed woman and dark haired, red faced man, with two amazing children in an old, traditional, churchgoing community on the sea....
and I do not have to explain to you why you should come to Scotland, you're in my head. Besides, maybe Seamus has a good friend? *laughs wickedly* maybe he's from Catteragus....

My heart yearns for Scotland.
But my home is here, and it is here that tradition will be refashioned...emblems remade, icons rebuilt...swords reforged, hearts made strong, books kept that contain the ideas that are sharper than any edge and stronger than any steel...
This is the time, this is the place. Scotland is a place of the past.

I want to go back in time then, and then to Scotland. Or find some remote older style village with old traditions and values. Which I'm hoping to really find there anyway. Who knows? I love Scotland either way.
And no, just being devious. You can make up your own life.

Go ahead. Live there. Scotland doesn't want you anyway. It prefers rough-cut people.

Scotland, again. London? I don't think 'd like to be there for more than a week, ever. And it's have to be with the right group of people. But i'm not a city person, and hate cars. And love a "rouch cut" life. So...Scotland!
(O, and, by the way, you who understand what I mean by this. Because Scotland is fantasy, Seamus must be in America or something.)
