Thanks, but I am not going to go. By the way, I live and spend most of my day in a place that is a hell of a lot more dangerous than many places in the world, including Kuwait. We celebrated our 27th murder on the year about a month ago, so no doubt it's going to end somewhere around 30 by June 1 and 34 or 35 by July 1, well outpacing Gary, IN and Compton, CA for the murder capital of the country. Given that there are about 85,000 people here, that's a murder rate of about 82 per 100k per year. Carlsbad was 1.3 in 2000. The average income is about $4500, and yes I can verify it because I did a lot of their taxes, compared to Carlsbad that is closer to 60k. I know you are kidding around, but seriously, I have quite a few other things to worry about as far as safety is concerned.
