My father was in charge of Andros (AUTEC) Atlantic Underwater Test and Evaluation Center. Quick note for west coasters, Dolphin is what we call Mahi Mahi or Dorado. First time I sat in a restaurant in the Florida and they offered me Dolphin I was really concerned that they were eating flipper! ![]() |

@ Fox-Mulder -- Don't be too concerned about what other language, besides English, will be spoken. Some folks will always be against change, of any kind, so we all will need to just get on with it; hopefully, a good job of convincing them for change will be made. I know some German, and have lived in Germany as a US soldier, for two years (1961-62), and so know what it's like to be a "foreigner". Had a good time, over there, as well. For what it's worth, Fox, I fully expect the USA to be a bi-lingual country (English-Spanish) within the next fifty years. My three (grown) children speak it. It shouldn't be a problem; Canada has been bilingual for, probably, all its life. For German, one would pick Pennsylvania, the Northern Great Plains states, such as North Dakota, Minnesota, etc., plus Michigan and Texas. For Spanish, the Southern tier. Take your pick. We're a country of immigrants; even the native Americans came over, not that many thousands of years, ago. |

If you are not too politcally conservative you might find the Puget Sound to be of your liking. Seattle is not the only choice. |

It's amazing reading all of these posts about gun toting Americans walking the streets. I have never owned a gun nor does anyone in my family. And as one other American member here stated the only people I have actually seen toting a gun were either in law enforcement or the military. Its a shame how many foreigners base their beliefs about how most Americans live on movies and the news media. The vast majority of us live quiet peaceful lives struggling to make ends meet like I suppose most people in many countries do. I feel bad about conditions in Somalia, North Korea, Bangladesh and other countries of the third world and I hope the countries that are well off will increase efforts to improve their lot, but I am not embarrassed about or ashamed of my country and I'm glad I am fortunate enough to live here.
