Equestria. Immigration is easy (the ruler just hands out land parcels is you show up looking sufficiently plumb tuckered out), the land is packed with resources (especially precious gems), public transportation is everywhere from trains to taxis (although you might have to take your turn pulling the taxi now and then), they're the only nation to possess weather control technology, they have the best pastries and apple products in the world, and the folks are really, really, *really* friendly.
It's misdirection to misdirect you from the misdirected misdirect, and time passes more slowly at each level of misdirection until you spend a lifetime misdirected into Limbo! THAT'S WHEN THEY GET YOU! #theyareouttogetyou
I've spent the past eight years (starting back in June 2004) writing elaborate rants about a bunch of vaguely related software engineering issues.
And what did that accomplish?
In today's essay I'm going to present you with a new conceptual framework for thinking about software engineering. This set of ideas I present will be completely obvious to you. You will probably slap yourself for not having thought of it yourself. Or you might slap the person next to you. In fact you probably have thought of it yourself, because it is so blindingly obvious.
But in my thirty-odd years as a programmer I'm pretty sure this way of thinking about things, if it already existed, has never been mainstream. That assertion is backed by what has to be at least ten Google searches that turned up nothing. So I'm pretty confident.
I'm going to make it mainstream, right now. Watch!
And I suspect this conceptual framework I'm giving you will immediately become, and forever remain, one of the most important tools in your toolkit for talking with -- and about -- other programmers.

I feel even less safe turning my back on someone who fantasizes about the death penalty for cheating.
I actually got an A on a book report in grade school for a book that didn't exist.

I fail to see how religion enters into this.
Hey, don't make me!
Ha! I breezed right past that. I was channeling Derpy.
Not sure what part of my post came across as partisan...
Can I get a line item listing of these "good things"?
They got vetoed. :(
Was this money "conjured" up from states 51 through 58?
Shhhh! No one must speak of the Stealth States.
Well that buys 10 seconds of air time on Joe Bob's Gardening Hour on Cable Access Channel 302

It's all just one big.

generally not at the same level as newspapers, where reporters are taught to consider what is told to them with skepticism
Bah ha ha ha ha ha! Good one!
They get along like green eggs and ham.
So, really well, then?

The punch line, a.k.a. TL;DR
Way too late for that.
I know exactly what's been bothering me.
