Ok, so say an American was really poor, or a redneck that wanted to live like a King, with as little work as possible.

How would you do it?

My opinion would be to sneak into Cuba or North Korea, renounce your citizenship, and ask for "asylum".
The reasoning I have behind this is that the Government there would make sure you lived really well just so they could use you as an advertisement for how well it is in that place. It would only work for a few people, then the free ride wouldn't be available any more. The more you could "dress up" your previous life with pictures and such the better, propaganda sells. Being an American Cuba for instance would fall all over itself to make sure you are happy... You might even get two ply toilet paper.

Alright, I'm off to bed.

OK, no bed yet. >_<

Say you are really depressed. Nothing is going right, and you are thinking about suicide, or worse..

Why not go down to the border, and secure a job as a mule. Pack a car with all the pot you can, and start driving toward wherever it is that they want you to go.

Your depressed, what's the worst that could happen? Don't stop for the Police, let them kill you. If you don't get caught you made a good chunk of money, and all is well. If you get caught you were going to die anyway.

Really going to bed this time.

I doubt those places would care if you were happy or not. They already have a lock on their people via propaganda. They don't need to convince they outside world and don't really care what they think.

As for the mule job, that seems to be the attitude of many doing it today.
