2. I voted no heading to Canada and leaving others behind to fight the
good fight against Bush is not my style.

3. Only if I get called up to the IRR heh
But then again, Canada isn't a safe place to goto for that.

4. Except for the decendents of slaves...
The one thing we all have in common is that we or our ancestors thought going and staying to another country (here) would be better than the country they were living in.

Today's businesses don't HESITATE to seek greater opportunities in other countries - why shouldn't we, esp if it mean religious freedom (read: freedom FROM religion) and an economic policy designed to create a feudal state?

7. The IF word and ethics....
If corporations and wealthy people shelter their money outside the U.S. ....why not us?
If corporations and wealthy people shelter tax due....why not us?
If corporations move businesses outside the U.S. ....thus avoiding tax....why should we not avoid tax?
If corporations move jobs outside the US to avoid tax.... why should we not avoid tax?

We all think those questions, but no one has an answer. Little people paying their taxes and having good jobs shipped away and taking any kind of job and meekly plugging along and being considered terrorists.....what for? The only thing left is a fight for the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and an all paper vote. For now.

I wish that when I was a kid I would have recognized that all the stuff about fed to me was propaganda - starting with every vote counting.

INSTEAD, I am going to stay here and fight to have all the propaganda REMOVED from the education of the little kids and get it all REPLACED with a curriculum that says - start learning how to cheat, steal, lie, pretend, betray, take revenge, build money making weapons. kill foreigners inside and outside our country, destroy the Constitution and throw the Bill of Rights in a contaminated river, then sit down and watch forests burn down and be cut down.
