Just don't get to thinking you can outrun it. You can't! I'm also originally from Maryland, near College Park. I flat out gave up about 30 years ago and moved to Ontario, Canada. I had a gutfull of corrupt politicians and racial problems along with the rapid dwindling of open spaces. Our peace and contentment lasted about 15 years. An example is Barrie, Ontario, about 50 miles north of Toronto. That sleepy little community of 15,000 has grown to over 100,000 people in these short numer of years. I'm fortunate to see a woodchuck within a two hour drive. Our farms are all but gone, taxed out of existence. We now have more hispanics and orientals than I would have thought possible. I guess the government feels it's a fair trade. We get their people, and in return they get our jobs. I was thinking of migrating to Australia or New Zealand, but realistically what would I get? Another 30 years at best. Yeah, it's pretty depressing for all of us. Best wishes.
