Consider this... lt's uncrowded - barely three million people in a country big enough to take twenty times that many. The climate is mild. A really hot summer's day means temperatures around 80 degrees, in the coldest winter it rarely freezes. Snow is almost unknown in the towns and cities - and yet it's only a few hours' drive to the mountains, and some of the best skiing in the world. The scenery is a microcosm of mother earth's best - blue lakes, clear rivers, white peaks, green valleys, bush-clad hills, and endless miles of wild, beach-strewn coastline. The swimming is safe and the ocean warm. lVIarlin, swordfish and a hundred varieties of eatables are there to be taken from the sea. The rivers and lakes are glutted with trout. Wild deer and pig rampage in the hills, so many that there are no limits, no licenses needed to hunt them. The outdoorsman need not worry about snakesp there aren't any, not even harmless ones. The government is beneficent. lt is there to work for the people, not against them. lt pays all hospital bills, all education expenses, and ensures no one dies a pauper. Every three years the people have the option of throwing it out if it doesn't measure up. Children are happy and healthy. lt's partly the climate, the outdoor living, the empha- sis on sport Cparticipating, not watchingi. The lack of fear in society has something to do with it too. Families feel secure. People don't mind walking the city streets at night. Race riots are unknown - brown and white live in harmony. Crimes of violence are rare - perhaps ten murders in a very bad year. The police don't wear guns - don't need to - and T1 privatg citizen can't even own one Cexcept for a hunting rifle, and then it has to be icense . Chiropractors do well there. Parliament has passed legislation recognizing them as a primary health profession quite distincet from medicine. A bill is underway to have chi- ropractic fully covered under the social security system. A recent petition initiating this drew more signatures than any other in the nation's history. The people SU PPO RT chiropractic. . . With all THAT to go back to when you finish your degree at Palmer, wouldn't you look just a little smug too? 166
