A good friend of mine wants to move somewhere where no body will get into his "business". He has lived in a small town for 25 years and things went south with his personal life and everyone in town seemed to know what was going on and my friend didn't like it. So he thought that he would buy enough land somewhere where he could be far away from everyone and no one would be into his "business". But, he found out that he didn't have that much money to buy that much land, because you'd need a Whole Lotta Land to be far enough away from your neighbors that they wouldn't be curious as to what you were up to and what you were doing. So, I suggested that if he really wanted to go somewhere where no body, and I mean No Body, would give a f**k what he was doing, or who he was, or where he was going, or what his dreams and aspirations were, or what his accomplishments were in his past or could be possible in his future, if he really wanted to be completely anonymous, then, he should move to New York City. Cause that is one place among several--LA, Chicago, London, well, maybe not London because he's a Yank, but, you know, any Big City in the US--were no one would pay you the least bit of attention. And he could go about his business and no one would be that interested in it, or who he was, or who he slept with, or what he did in his spare time, or any of that stuff. I don't think he'll do it. It would be a big change. And he's already had a few of those. And besides, being anonymous just isn't for everyone. You have to work at it, just like anything else. Stumble It!
