Like I've said before, my ancestors packed up & left the "old world" and came to the USA. I don't know why...they are all gone & I don't know anyone that asked them. However, our family is very grateful they took the chance.

I believe you have said in the past you spent some time here in the USA & either didn't like it or left for reasons unknown. I can tell you that you would've had a chance to buy ground here, but apparently not where you are. Your choice to stay in the smog. Don't make us feel guilty for your surroundings. Come back here & work on one of the corporate farms that might be similar to you present situation.

We have clean air here in IL also, except like others say, when the forest start burning way north of us.
