    If it's anything that requires large scale structures, that ties you down to the proximity of the structure, and also the community or persons who own it.

    First thing that popped into my head was "flying motorcycles."

    First thing for me was, freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.

    I like the Star Trek version as money didn’t seem to be a problem. Maybe more like Kuwait or UAE, where a rough day would be finding something new to buy. I personally know native Americans here who are driving Maybachs and don't have a regular job.

    Most people in Kuwait and the UAE really don't live a life of idle luxury, you know.

    I may have been tunneled visioned as I’m a car guy and I know the young there drive Ferrari’s like we drive Mustangs. I guess maybe change it to a place like Kuwait, where you didn’t have to work.

    I don't want to derail the thread any further, so this will be my last word on the subject - SOME young Kuwaitis not doubt have Ferraris, but by no means a large number of them. They are not all filthy rich. I've lived in the Middle East, and I can attest to that first-hand.

    Don't reduce a country to a stereotype.

    I'm done.
