A friend of mine is moving out of the USA later this week.

47. good points

Even though my father's family fled the colonies during Rev. War as Loyalists, they returned in 1932, having been in the New World since mid 1600s.

My father remained a citizen of Canada, living here on a green card most of his adult life. And so, under 2009 Canadian law, I am a citizen (in the lengthy process of obtaining a certificate of citizenship). I don't think of moving out of U.S. unless things deteriorate to the point where my adult disabled daughter would be endangered by discriminatory RW policy.

That said, my other daughter is mother to two girls whose Jewish father's family fled Nazi Germany and would have gone to Theriesenstadt camp with neighbors except they had enough resources to escape. This daughter will NOT stay in U.S. if there is a threat to those girls.

I had to have "the talk" with my disabled daughter the other day. She is able to take the local bus to the supermarket to shop, and that is her routine several times a week. I had to talk with her about how to be safe if there is trouble in the store. Keep aware of what's happening, if there's trouble, leave the cart and the store immediately, look for a place to duck and hide....etc.

What a world.
