2. Would Canada do any better, though?
They have a conservative government now, too.

12. As I say to those who cut down people who are ready to move
Edited on Thu May-24-07 08:11 PM by uppityperson
don't be so judgmental. Do what is right for you and let others do what is right for them.

Did any of your ancestors ever move to another country? Sometimes people make other choices and being nasty doesn't help.

5. Unfortunately, I don't think Canada will take us. We could go to Mexico.
You know, kind of like reverse immigration.

7. I'd relocate to Holland if I had a skill that they'd accept
Any nice ladies from Holland want to grant a "pity marriage" to a yank?

9. There Does Come a Point
As left-leaning as I am...Social Democrat...I have still always said I felt enough love for my country to stay and FIGHT for it. It is MINE too. I'm 53 and have been fighting since Viet Nam.

...right now, I am no longer sure. I'm tired and this country just gets more ill by the minute. There ARE better places to live. I am a mentally ill, unmedicated, uninsured, unemployed lesbian and I can't even get on the insurance of the women I have spent 15 years with and intend to spend the rest of my life with.

All of those issues: treatment of the mentally ill, medical care, health coverage and marriage equity I can find other places and I have a right to feel safe and well cared for. "Compassion" has become demonized in the USA. This country is actually becoming my bane.

If we had the money, we would leave. I have no doubt.

11. I mention the "f" word (fight)
and I get wound up a bit too much.

I think in lieu of leading a one man revolution, I might save up for a one way ticket to "elsewhere"

13. Yeah I'm Tired
I've been doing this for years and years and years with almost no medical care or help and I'm just getting past the point. I'm way tired.

I want to go someplace that's else and relax and mock the US in comfort. The place is sick and getting sicker and evidently the majority of people like it this way.

15. I Hear Ya
I really want to leave, too. America is no longer the country I grew up in. I'm tired of waiting for everyone to rise up. Obviously, we are not the people our ancestors were. They were fighters. We are just fat wimps who love American Idol. Ugh! I feel like my brain is frying in this place.

14. Do What Ya Do. Ain't No One Stoppin Ya. No One Ever Has. If Ya Want To Go, Go.
Why the drama, as if there were people standing in your way refusing to let you go or something? Put your money where your mouth is. If ya want to go then go.
