My point clearly is that it isn't daring nor difficult nor whatever to post a list of countries that appear to do pretty well and that MIGHT be better choices for some of us, IF they'd let us in (which often is a problem). We all live in the US, apparently, some of us may not have spent much time in other countries, and few of us have tried to LIVE there (which is different from visiting).
France seems like a great place, to a visitor, but talk to the wife about living there.
