Patcon Feasible- and you have to be crazy to do anything worthwhile! Read a book called the Road to Gobblers Knob by Geoff Hill - he went from Chile to Alaska on a motorbike. Go for it...or maybe you have!

Patcon Thank you for your reply. His corruption alone does not concern me, corruption and power go hand in hand, but I feel the violence is excessive and anything that causes people to go hungry appalling and unnecessary.
