Ummmm.... Alrighty then.

Are there any other countries that are relatively warm and have a better political system and general standard of living than the U.S.? I'm really wanting some alternatives right about now.

I have been loathe to move away from my wonderful network of friends, but if it can work for Gemini Cricket ... I can somehow make it work for me. I want OUT of the United States, and I want to renounce my citizenship. Ugh, I need to take a shower every ten minutes in this country.

Please let's just have the election tomorrow.

Thank you, Sen. McCain, for not choosing Mitt Romney as your running mate.

His financial expertise would have made you look better during this crisis. Instead, your running mate is making you look worse.

The grass is always greener...

Or maybe that would be a good thing

The problem with immigrating to another country is their immigration laws (yes, other countries actually enforce them). Also, a lot of countries give job preference to those who have citizenship/born there, so unless you have a specialty that is in high demand there you may find yourself without sustainable income.

Trust me. The snow of Nova Scotia seems really tempting sometimes...

but the job availability of a small fishing town is not good.

New Zealand's got no employment requirement.

Any chance of putting that picture in spoiler tags so it doesn't force horizontal scroll?

Jumping ship is giving up. You may just hit the water, look at the boat and say, "Hey, it's really not sinking and I'm all wet." Meanwhile, the people you left behind are contending with the issue that made you jump with one less person to help them.

While we're at it, I greatly dislike it when people say, "If you don't like America, then get out" or "Don't let the door hit you on the way out." It's okay to be unhappy with aspects of your country. That's where equality begins. No one owns the truth. Who are they to say you should leave? The response should be, "It's my country too. I want things to change."
