: Shaun, in his magical way, has provided us with yet another elegant example of how we, as U.S. citizens, are royally screwed. Suggesting that I move because I am discontent with the state of my country’s affairs is tantamount to admitting that we, as individuals, either

: a) have no right as citizens to protest, petition, and revolt
: b) have such rights, but exercising them is an act of futility

I do not believe that any person should not have the right to protest, petition, or revolt against thier country or anything else. There are plenty of things I dislike about this country and Americans too, and I'll voice my opinions when I have the opportunity. The reason I asked you that question in the first place was because a lot of Americans (my grandparents included) move overseas, and since you can make a good living in many other countries and have the same lifestyle, I thought that it would make some sense to move somewhere else since you disliked the US so much (untill you said that in your opinion, every other country is in the same boat we are)
