Wife of NC State Senator says Amendment One is necessary ‘to protect the Caucasian race’

35. We're 45-50 minutes away from Duke

Which was handy for me. My partner spent a good part of the year last year (and a couple of spells this year) in hospital. Whilst I was unemployed it was convenient to run favorite foods, clean jammies, etc over. I work in High Point now, so that makes a bigdang circle from Caswell County to HP to Durham and back home.

We've had experience with quite a few healthcare systems. Nothing in Florida and very little in NC touches the quality of care he's getting at Duke. The problem with changing states is that he has to start all over again with Medicaid and Ryan White. Sometimes that could be months- to a year-long wait. He can't do without care that long. (I almost lost him when we moved back to NC.) All that being said, you see why we have to be careful about EXACTLY what system is available wherever we'd go and what the level of care is.

We love Vermont, but his constitution won't last through one of those winters. Oregon and Washington state are "on the list" for climate, certainly, but we haven't yet investigated what kind of systems there are and how good they are.

Then there's the matter of my finding an appropriate job. Then there is the matter of relocating with our six dogs. Just can't go get any apartment. 'T'ain't easy when there is so much to consider.

But I would gladly walk the steps not to be an official second-class to non-citizen. Those teapot SOBs gladly take our higher tax-rate money, but they don't want to give personhood in return.

Burns my ass that corporations are "people" but gay people are not.
