'We' are tolerated, if not actually 'hated', the world over so without buckets 'o money (which you wouldn't be aloud to take out of the country with you) or skills to make yourself valuable (without the aid of technology to which we've become accustomed) there is NOWHERE TO GO! You'd get off the boat or plane, they'd check your papers, search your bags taking everything of value and throw you in a refugee, prison or a forced labor camp. If you had really good friends who could, and would, put their lives and lively hoods on the line for you, and you had access to buckets 'o money and/or skills you MIGHT do OK. In reality, there is nowhere to go... Except to sea, the last frontier on earth. Life would be hard, perhaps impossibly hard, but you would be free...
Erm... what?
