I'm Moving to CANADA
 

Kerry just conceded, and I don't think I can take for more years of the GWB. Get me outta here!

You and Alec Baldwin, I guess.

Huh? :confused:

The baldwins were one of many actors who claimed that they would leave the country under some sort of criteria.

I'm still waiting.

I'm so bummed out, sick and depressed--I can't fucking believe that asshole got voted in. Well, all you who voted for W, you get what you deserve and I've earned the right to complain. I am going to apply for dual citizenship with Canada (mother is Canadian-born and raised) before I go to the UK this spring. I am NOT telling anyone that I am an American. Shame on us. Shame, shame, shame. If I didn't care so much about this country--I wouldn't care. :bawling:

Maybe you and OC can share a flight.

The only thing I ask is that you don't come back.

If you're willing go to all of that effort to avoid a problem I don't want you benefitting from the effort of anyone who actually tries to solve the problem instead of solving it.

I'm right there with ya, girl. Hey, now that you mention it, I believe I might be able to get Irish citizenship through some family ties. Definitely something to look into before I travel again.... :stpaddy:

Geez, relax. I'm simply voicing my disgust at the outcome of the election. Go take a pill.

Directed at me, ts? If so--let me say I admire your attitude but find it naive. This country does NOT belong to the people. It belongs to the despots bush/cheney and entourage. I cannot believe this country voted in a man who uses our tax money to reward companies for taking business overseas...well, I guess I can. halliburton does business with Iran vis a vis an offshore company. the people in charge of this country are criminals. And they've got four more years to pillage this nation. nice.

I suppose part of the vehemence of my response comes from being on campus during such times, but it doesn't change my sentiment. The problem is that so many people today are willing to just that, leave the country when there really isn't anywhere that is that much better. The trend I've noticed is that most of the people who are willing to leave are either so well off that rights don't matter or are so willing to give up their rights that moving where they won't have them is not great leap.

Canada is deprived of rights?

huh. every cloud DOES have a silver lining. any chance of you taking maristinkingchiko with you?

How's about merely stating something like "my guy lost."

That would be sufficient.

Other countries may not be "better," but I have travelled extensively in Europe and do not see the reactionary, flag-waving, uneducated "we're-the-best" bullshit from people there that I see here.

Well-off? That's a bit of a generalization. I work for a charitable non-profit org and took a 50% pay cut to do so. "Well-off" isn't in my vocabulary anymore. Would I actually move to Canada or anywhere else? Probably not. I haven't given up on this country--I'm just very saddened by the choice the people here have just made.

Did ya get your teeth fixed yet, LJ?
