Not sure what you meant by "wake up", the world is a differnt place today than it was in the 60's, that's for sure. I'm not going to give you my resume Skycop, but if this ain't waking up I need Alice to lead me back to the rabbit hole.

Well the wake-up call is addressed to one and all, and I reckon I can guess exactly what he is referring to. The world has been blissfully heading down a one-way road to economic and ecological disaster for a while now, and the consequences may be dire indeed.
As for the digs ref Skycop's non-working expat status (and mine come to that) - I put in the hours, spent most of my working life abroad having set up my own business, and it happened to be a 'shift' that allowed me to 3/4 retire aged 39, having started with absolutely nothing. Of course to get 'lucky' it helps if one can successfully integrate into the culture where one has chosen to live and work, to perfectly understand the work ethic of the country in question, the people, the way their minds work.
Those unable to do this generally speaking end up going home with their tails between their legs ...
