Regarding leaving this country ...


There are MANY things that suck here and I pay a fortune to assholes that I didn't elect to make decisions that I don't want. The bankers are criminals. The politicians are corrupt. The health care is so expensive that any ailment can end up being a sentence of debt and poverty, and it's not unlikely that some gun toting redneck teenager could shoot my son in his own classroom. There is some seriously fucked-up shit here and I can't really blame anyone for wanting to leave.


...but it's home, and I could never leave ... and for all we do wrong, we occasionally get something right.
In addition, knowing that I have fellow countrymen like DiestPaladin, Min, Shell B, Syn, Summer and a host of other intelligent Americans reminds me that not everyone here is an idiot and that maybe someday this country will be more than occasionally right.


Cheers you beautiful Brit bastards. Wink
