I may even renounce my US citizenship. I am ashamed to carry a US passport now. We should be ashamed of what our country has become. Power corrupts, but so does fear, and we have become a country of trembling, paranoid cowards who jump at the slightest noise. And I am tired of living among a herd of sheep, waiting obediently while the wolves decide on the menu.
For sure. I cannot improve upon this statement. ^^^

One of my professors, who was German, told me to always be on the watch for these kinds of developments in our country. "Just leave. Don't try to fight it and don't hope it will get better; it won't and the delay may be fatal. Just get out."
I'm torn on this. Canada being a decent alternative. But I'm not giving up yet, just because I'm convinced Americans have liberty written into their DNA. Slowly, the tide is turning against the federal overreaches. Against the violence from DHS and TSA. Against criminal violence in random strip searches such as was performed on Hebshi at Detroit a few days ago. This *is* not the country it was, not even close; it has turned into a h*ll hole from citizens' neglect of their duty and from federal malfeasance. But this can be fixed when the conditions are right, and in fiscal and economic terms, the conditions are aligning.
