Would you like to live in a Liberal Socialist Paradise like the Scandivinian countries? And enjoy egalitarianism and democracy?

I would take all the oil money Norway makes though. Actually, their social conventions make me sick. I forget what its called though, something about everyone being equal.

I would like the US to reseble those countries more, hence my nation's government on here being based on such nations.

Yes.

Unless of course it's not OK for a woman to ask for a female to ask for a female officer to carry out body checks. In which case, the answer would be no.

I don't like the cold... It may be okay in the summer, but I would prefer the climate more like, say mid-Florida or south-Louisiana in the winter... Is that possible?

Don't say that too loudly, the Pentagon might just think that's a good idea.

I'd rather not. Call it the Texan in me, but I'd rather a Ron Paul Republic. The ability to succeed or fail on my own merits, and the government as far away from me as possible, as long as I abide by the law.

I happen to be on the side of the grand equation that would see me being a net payer into the system rather than a net receiver. So no.
“Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself in all cases as the age and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies. Man has no property in man; neither has any generation a property in the generations which are to follow.”
