I swear if this Country goes to Hell.....
I'm going to grab the nearest gun I can find. I'm a 21 year old woman, 5"1, 115lbs----and a yellow belt in karate which is as far as I got in the 7th grade. I'm going to get that gun to protect myself, hijack a car by punching out the driver, load up the trunk of the car with groceries, and hightail it to Canada.

Why? Because if this Country goes to utter chaos, I want to be free in Canada if Bush gets elected. I read an article in which Tommy Franks said that if there's a terrorist attack, that martial law will be imposed in America.

To hell with that, I say.....I bet there'll be riots and soldiers shooting innocent citizens like what happened in Miami. America as we know it will no longer exist, just a police fascist state.

If that happens, I'm proud to call myself Canadian or British if I can stow away on a ship to Grand Ol' England.

But of course, I'm going to wait to see who wins the 2004 election. I hope it'll be Dean. If not.....then sayonara, America, and hello Canada.....

1. I suggest a plane or a bus instead
And no hijacking, please. I doubt you'll get far if you try that.

Also, I doubt you'll be allowed across the Canadian border with your gun.

I'd suggest you put your rage into helping the Dems register voters. Much more productive and far less stressful than worrying about the Apocalypse.

3. the planes will be grounded in case of martial law
and so will public transportation. Ha, the Canadian border is so porous! I can slink in through those trees----I'm 5"1 after all, right?

Hmmm....maybe they won't catch me on a motorcycle. ;-)

2. Hang in there - the fat lady hasn't sung yet
And get some training on the gun.
And, no, don't steal a car.
And get some sleep.

5. Forget that ...
I want to stay here and fight and get the country BACK . Its my goal to get everyone I know get everyone they know to the polling places . I am small in body size but I have big lungs and I will fight down and talk the Freepers down to get our country back . Leaving the country is like giving it to them . I was born in America and I refuse to give it up to the BFEE . I know I am currently overseas now but I have learned soooooooo much about my country ( the USA ) by being overseas . I am coming back early 2004 to volunteer to help get Bush out of power . I know we all have different choices for who we want as the Democratic Presidential Candidate in 2004 , but the real goal is the get the BFEE out of power . Leaving the country won't do it .

12. Don't worry,
The converted drive-in theatres that will serve as your relocation center will be comfy, I'm sure. You'll have to carry your sleeping bag around with you to prevent having it stolen, though, or you'll have to shift-share a cot with someone else.

14. I'm with you, Carolina
I'm one state South of you, in an area that will never ever elect a Democratic president. In 39 years I've never felt like the fight has been more important. I still spout the facts in every situation I can, and will probably put a giant "Anyone but Bush" sticker in my pick-up, even though that kinda behavior could lead to flat tires here in SC.

I think it's important to reach out to the third parties (I voted Libertarian myself last time), as that percentage of votes would've made all the difference last time. Surely the average Nader-ite, if they were FORCED to choose, would've chosen Gore over Chimpy last time. This time, I fear, every single vote count. Hopefully Chimptastic has polarized all the non-Repugs into one large voting blok.

Hopefully.

Sigh.

Now I must get back to my unfettered crush on Slackerwink. I can't wait to see the haircut.

13. If you happen to be in TX at that time, you can use my tunnel to Mexico.
I'm at least 1/2 way to Del Rio now. Shhh. Don't tell. ;-)

16. I won't....shhhh.....are the Bushites reading this? they better not....
or else I'll spray them down with my AK-47 stolen from one of those Texan camps that try to make Texas become a republic again.

Remember that guy? What a hoot he was!

17. Don't hijack the car
until you make sure the driver isn't ALREADY fleeing to Canada him/herself! I'm planning on asking for status as a political refugee!

If that crap were to happen, you (as well as any other DUers) can come aboard my bus to Canada, w/o having to hijack a car. :)

19. Canada is out!
Right after The Shrub took over Al's house, he got a treaty with our Cannuck friends to return any "Fleeing Felons" that the US might want, whether they claim politcal asylum or not

This was done to keep every swinging dick between 17 and 70 from high-tailing it north to avoid the 2005 draft.

You won't get across. I'll bet Cheney has imported former East German Frontier guards, just like Dulles and Prescott brought all those Nazis in to work for the CIA...

How you feel about an Atlantic crossing in an open boat?

20. The Santa Claus solution
Canada cannot solve everybody's problems. We've got enough of our own.

If you want to immigrate to Canada, you have to bring something of value - cash, skills - and have a job and family to support you.

21. What do you all have against Mexico?
It's a much better choice than Canada anyway.

It's warmer.

The women are prettier.

The food is better.

The booze is better.

Spanish is easier to learn than French.

You can actually sunbathe.

Zapatista rebels are more fun to party with than Quebecois separatists.


So GO MEXICO if the whip comes down. Trust me!

Edited on Mon Nov-24-03 07:49 PM by 1a2b3c
Arent you the hottie with the glasses that just signed up here a couple weeks ago?

Have you ever shot a gun before? Get a nice CZ 9mm. www.gunbroker.com www.auctionarms.com If you live in NY or California you need not even look since you probably cant own a gun. And i might add that you owe that to the liberal? democrats in those states.
