That rips it.

I'm conserving juice at the outlet, which limits my entertainment
options and makes me much less of a consumer; new cars have/will-have
GPS to track my donut foraging travels, and are made like crap, so I'm
definitely not buying another; I'm already boycotting all music and
video media, due the goofiness in Hollywood; and now I'll say goodbye to
ISPs that narc for the world government -- 1st world gov, 3rd world, I'm
not sure and who can tell the difference, today anyway.

Does any portion of whatever world government have totalistic designs on
the Yukon?  Sure, the canadian government probably has a stack of
tourist/emmigration forms to fill out, and they'd hate it if I just
dropped out of sight there.  But, if I wore a white parka and ski pants,
I'd look just like another underfed polar bear.  Surely polar bears
aren't on anyone's hit-list?
