A small dinner for two was like 40-50 bucks, hotels were very expensive, petrol was outrageous, as were rail passes (when not bought in advance). In cities, the strassebahns were nice, but any long distance travel was very pricey. The USA even with problems remains…freer, for the most part. Nothing like having munich polizei “mit die Hunden” shaking you down for zee papers.

On the other hand, blogland’s getting less free, as with Brave New Worlds, McMax and byronia’s site of phonies. Max seems overjoyed that he can now censor people at will (“moderate”), especially anyone who dares to question RA Heinlein’s right-wing hawkish views–VERBOTEN! After four or five years of not quite mastering the WP layout, he finally figured out the comments app.
