I think this was the video. I noticed a number of years ago the comments had been disabled, I don't know why. Maybe someone didn't want to see the possibilities for global solidarity for peace.

More likely, so many "Peace from _______" comments were being logged that the size of the video's database entry was threatening to become unmanageably large, which would render the video itself unplayable.

Still, for those of us with ears to hear and eyes to see, the message is quite clear!

probably about 8-9 years ago now I came upon a youtube video of Yusef Islam (Cat Stevens) performing at a Nobel peace prize concert, the first time he'd performed in quite a long time. He sang Peace Train of course, awesomely. But what really got me, because I'm a sap, were the comments underneath the video. Someone started early on by simply saying "Peace from ______". That was contagious as nearly everyone after that posted a comment simply saying "Peace from _____". There were a lot of comments and I ended up going thru each one and charting where each was from. I counted about 108 countries and nearly every state in this country. I remember writing a diary about that and posting it at Daily Kos. Probably some of the people here can remember that. It touched me and verified what I already knew, people all over the world want peace, we're all the same. I too have been all over the world and met people from many different countries. We're divided by our governments and those that control them.

No military In Costa Rica is such a wonderful thing and it seems they have money to spend on some of the needs of the people like Universal Health Care. Did some more reading about this and ex-pats can also get this Universal Heath Care as well.

I lost a job to this once. The business moved the operation I was working in to Costa Rica. Why? Universal publicly financed health care. Seems mildly higher taxes without the threat of escalating private health insurance premiums ends up saving them money.

Of course, my taxes end up paying for the "defense" of every Tom, Dick and Harry country out there while my healthcare is treated as a charity case.....

I know we use a dentist in Costa Rica for a fraction of the cost here in the United States and she has top of the line dental equipment and top notch service. We stumbled onto her business one of our first trips to Puerto Jiminez and now plan our visit to include a yearly checkup from her!
