KMAN, your point is not without merit.
I and many others I know who are disgruntled with a lot about our federal government give consideration to moving to other countries.
There's a lot of great places to live besides the U.S.A.
But damnit, I kinda like the scene here. And fortunately, history suggests that our population is fairly balanced in thought, so therefore, I'm never too far from getting someone preferable to replace those I dislike.
But yeah, I've got a passport and I'm not afraid to use it....the thought of GW finally being elected and then perhaps being followed by Brother JEB! in 2008 could do it....smile
My most recent concern is that with the events of the past year combined with the zealotry of the Bush administration to use the military for nefarious purposes, my 18 year old son could be subject to mandatory conscription and forced by law to join the killing machine. In such an event, relocating to another country and giving him safe haven would be a legitimate option.
