Leaving The USA

“The Book of Questions”, by Gregory Stock, Ph.D — These are questions of a different sort — questions about you. They are about your values, your beliefs, and your life; love, money, sex, integrity, generosity, pride, and death are all here.

Here is an enjoyable way to find out more about yourself and others, and to confront ethical dilemmas in a concrete rather than an abstract form.

To respond to these questions, you will need to examine and interpret your past, project yourself into hypothetical situations, face difficult dilemmas and make painful choices.

These questions can be an avenue for individual growth, a tool for deepening relationships, a quick way to get to know a stranger, or merely a pleasant amusement.

The questions from this book of questions can be fiction or non-fiction

I could see having to leave a country due to a certain criminal conviction

I know individuals that have trouble getting housing, due to an eviction

And sometimes the eviction is caused because of an addiction.

I guess I have already started talking about the question description

Enough for now of this writing as it is causing me a bit of friction.

Would you accept $1,000,000 to leave the country and never set foot in it again? Gregory Stock, Ph.D

I would want to live close to family and friends, and probably invite them to come to see me by paying their plane fare and providing a place to stay, either with me or close to me. I have been to Mazatlan, Mexico for a retreat and loved it. I wasn't sure I could live there.

Expenses were cheaper, food, shelter, etc. I had a couple massages and they were 40.00 an hour less expensive and the massage therapist came to my place. The full moon over the water was beautiful every night. I loved the entertainment and food in the restaurants.

If you were expelled from the country and had only limited resources, where would you try to rebuild your life? Gregory Stock, Ph.D

My choice would be close to family. Canada is the closest country to me. There are Native American tribes living close to the Canadian boarder. I would try to find a welcoming place there first.

I would want to find part-time work and hope that my pension would follow me, if not my social security. I would have to look into all of that. These questions definitely give a person something to think about.

Which sex do you think has it easier in our culture? Have you ever wished you were of the opposite sex? Gregory Stock, Ph.D

White males have the privelege, then white females, then all others with men again having more privelege than the women. In the Native American culture, women have some extra privelege with others socialized in the culture but that does not translate to other cultures.

No, I have never wished I were of the opposite sex, although I know plenty that have wished for that. And I have never wished to be Caucasian as others I have known have while growing up, and even a few in my extended family.
