I bought some land in the country to hopefully get away from some it, and maybe have a family one day. But at this rate I'll prolly pack up my truck, load up the dogs and head to Canada before too long. Find a semi-remote location, and hunt/fish my tail off. No matter how hard you try to teach your kid right from wrong for the 4 hours you see them a day, it won't hold a candle to what they're going to be exposed to in the everyday world now a days. I just spent almost a week with my 14 year old niece while she was on summer vacation, the things she was telling me about what kids are doing is unreal. She saw Heroin at school in the 8th grade, and this is at a top 10 school in the state. I'm not talking about 14 year old jimmy who stole a nickel bag of weed from his brothers sock drawer and yall go burn it after school behind the corner store and then go ride bikes all over the city and think you're on dragons wings(I had a friend who had a friend that did that once...), I'm talking about kids who show up to school with bookbags full of Heroin. Not the world I want to live in, and definitely not the world I want to bring a person into. I'll do my 75 years here and move on, not too worried about carrying on my last name, no one can pronounce it anyway. haha

It is really unfortunate, and I have totally thought about doing the same thing. My ultimate goal is to downsize as much as possible in order to be as least connected and dependent as possible. Almost like getting back to the roots of true happiness, which isn't embedded in more stuff. Hunt, fish, and live off the land as much as possible. I like the idea.
