As an American citizen you are privileged to have the freedom to choose to leave anytime you wish. This is not a privilege available to people in truly worse situations (N.Korea, Cuba, etc. etc.) > Alan, I too said I was going to canada...but haven't followed thru ;). > I think I'm going to stick out one more election, and if he forces his > way back in...THEN I'm gone. I hear the snowboarding is great and > everybody has medical coverage up there. A lot of loyal-americans have died over the years to give you this right. If you are so weakly loyal, feel free to honor their sacrifice by exercising your right to leave. I find nothing more infuriating than US citizens willing to casually dispose of their citizenship. If you have problems with the 'system' in its' current incarnation you absolutely have the right to complain, voice your opinion, etc. However, you also have the right to actively change the system to one of your liking. I respect individuals that do not like something and have the spine to do something about it. Protest, lobby, march, RUN for office even! But don't just complain and run away. On second thought, please do leave. (later you can return and even become president) There are hordes of people dying to take your place here and as history has shown, most immigrants are willing to work hard and make a better life for themselves and their families. Yes we do have problems here, I don't deny that, why don't you try to make it a better place instead of running away from the hard work of citizenship.
