    I get what you're saying and I see that how my comment could be interpreted. I wish I had worded it better. The most vibrant places in the world (again, IME) have a diversity of abilities, backgrounds, ages, and economic status. There's another type of place - the sort of place I had in mind - that doesn't. That attracts people who are trying to get away from law and any sort of social contract. Some of those places look attractive on the surface. That's the sort of place I'm talking about. They're probably not as common as they seem to be to me.
