...60 minutes is just the tip of the iceberg. It's all gone. And there is no where to hide. I spend every day calling all over the world where I have contacts looking for a place my wife and I can move to. Same story everywhere: "Yes, this part of the city is nice--but stay away from there, and positively do not go out at night! Be very careful of buying property. The deals are not always legit and you may end up with nothing. Bring a lot of money--but don't carry it with you! I remember a far different world, one where even early 60 minutes was a might alarming. What have we done?

Sorry for my momentary loss of control.
