Love it or leave it
Tonight, before probably my 25th viewing of “The Matrix” with Gerene and Becky (my 25th, their first), we were talking about the scary state of the country. I said that the more I thought about it, the more I thought I might one day move to Canada. Online friends like Maurice (who has conferred upon me honorary citizenship) and Haidi have shown me a small glimpse of what seems to be a little bit saner world.
But, Becky said, how would you feel about giving up your American citizenship? I was a little taken aback by the question at first, since I hadn’t thought of it in those terms. After about 10 seconds mulling it over, I realized somewhat to my own surprise that I wouldn’t have much of a problem with it.
I guess to those who now run this country, and those who slavishly follow them, that means I hate this country and might as well leave tomorrow. But to me, it’s just a reflection on how truly scary things have gotten.
“America – Love It or Leave It.” Who knows – I might do both.
This was a huge issue in the Viet Nam War. I hope the people who decided to leave are wonderfully happy, but I’m grateful so many stayed behind to work on our problems. I certainly hope you stay — not just because our country is going to need an enormous amount of work get out of this mess, but because you’re so damn fun to be with.
I have only one thing to say: “Dual citizenship.” :->}
yeah, i don’t think you have to give up your citizenship. but i think you can go to more countries with an american passport. don’t quote me on that.
Get the fuck out. After your sick of over-taxation and weak minded liberals, don’t even think about coming back. We don’t want you. See ya.
