The sword and axe are a wonderful backup to the firearms, no matter where you are, Somerville. I don't have all the details worked out yet. I figure that no matter what way I go, I'll probably be dead within a couple of years, so does it really matter?
GOOD. The Decline of America will hopefully lead to the rise of a proper country in its place.
Actually my legal advisor is working on it at this point, trying to iron out some of the issues. Hopefully by the first of August something will be in place to get me the hell out of here.
If you leave the country you will lose the opportunity to wage a figurative form of open source warfare against the established order in this country. Staying allows you to force your opponents to wage a long twilight struggle in which their hopes for the peace and quiet disappear. In responding to constant agitation their vision of America can be forced to transmorgify into something they will come to loathe...a police state. That will ruin them and their future.
True, however leaving the country allows me to pursue opportunities to engage in other forms of "discourse" against the established order here in the United States. The type of resistance you're talking about doesn't work. It creates speedbumps, but nothing more.
Frequently, they behave like idiots. For some, because that's all they are. But it isn't this lot that is reconstructed in their failure. It's those around and after them who end up taking heed. Look around you today. Mixed-race couples are commonplace and accepted as fact today. Women are ubiquitous in senior and higher management positions. Gays are on the verge of attaining equal rights. Even atheists are becoming influental. What sort of legacy of the conservative values of 50 years ago do these things represent? None of those bigots was ever brought out of the darkness, but their miserable examples sent countless millions down a different path. The right-wing is continuing to isolate itself today, taking a record of social, economic, environmental, military, and foreign policy disaster with them. Romney will either defend or repudiate that record, and neither one will help the right-wing. It is a losing cause slowly fading into the pages of history.What does history tell us about an internal minority that feels beleagured, oppressed, downwardly mobile, and who face what they perceive to be an existenital crisis? What do they do?
I'm not moving to Canada. Though I'm looking long and hard at IRAN, and what it takes to renounce my US Citizenship.
The constitution entitles Iranians to basic health care, and most receive subsidized prescription drugs and vaccination programs. An extensive network of public clinics offers basic care at low cost, and general and specialty hospitals operated by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME) provide higher levels of care. In most large cities, well-to-do persons use private clinics and hospitals that charge high fees.[3] About 73% of all Iranian workers have health care and social security coverage.[3] In 2000, 94% of the population could access local health services, according to the WHO. Access ranged from 86% in rural areas to 100% in urban areas.[3] Between 80% and 94% of the population could access affordable essential medicines in 1999.[3] Since 2009, a new government plan called "the comprehensive insurance plan" provides basic coverage to all Iranians.[7]

unfortunately, it appears that the Iranians embrace "socialism."

The type of resistance is very effective. Cheer up. The forces and processes of history are with us. They gravely weaken the Blue Model of Society and Govt.
Not really. Hell, our own Revolutionary War and Civil War show us that there are times when nothing less than bloody conflict will resolve the disputes of philosophy. I believe it was Napoleon who referred to cannons as "The Ultimate Arguement of Kings."
Okay. Looks like Pakistan is the next on the list to look at.

Obviously they take to the internet and believe that will somehow someway translate into magically transforming a very small number of nuts into a very large number of powerful whacko's.
It has always amazed me how people who cannot get elected to a county commissioner slot because they completely and utterly lack any political skills whatsoever believe they can have a revolution by typing out messages on sites like this.

I'm working on getting out of here as we speak.
Collapsing education in America is much more effective than kinetic warfare in terms of permitting the outside world to impose its will on America. America is part First World and part Third World. But only Third World America is growing in any meaningful sense. And that's not good for the future economic prospects of the country.
Know what albert collapsing americans quality of life out of greed has done more to allow the outside world to impose its will on us than anything else....Sending all decent jobs to china has weakened this country distinctively in quality of life, Incomes, purchasing power and tax revenues....you conservatives need to be honest with yourselves and admit what you know and cant say or you will blasphemy your party
I admit that both leftist and conservative Big Business types sent American jobs to China. For every conservative you show me I can show you a Jeffrey Immelt from General Electric who sent jobs to the wonderful people of China. No one has clean hands. Both sides are at fault. And now at least two full generations of American youth are going to suffer like we haven't seen in more than eighty years.
Did you know that the California liberals had the SF Bay Bridge expansion/retrofit built in China and shipped in pieces to the Bay Area? Liberals did this. Doesn't that demonstrate hypocrisy. Can you see why I have detached my emotions from America. Otherwise my heart would break.
What are you going to do with declining public schools? Your side is in bed with the people who demand maintenance of the status quo. An uneducated people don't have much of a future my friend. You are powerless to change that.

What declining public schools?
Where is your verifiable evidence of this as some sort of a national problem?
What are you talking about - America as uneducated people?
You paint a doom and gloom picture but you are using pastel chalks on a sidewalk that can be easily washed off with a light hosing of water because they do not stand up to scrutiny.
So isn't it about time we at least stop digging the hole deeper?
Are you being disingenuous? Have you heard of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development? It's generally referred to as the OECD. Are you familiar with it? The OECD created PISA. Do you know what PISA is? It ranks students by country in math, science, reading and writing. That's how we know how American students measure up to their foreign peers. ]
I think your side should have sought peace when it had the chance. The hole is a grave. Your side dug it.
Actually my legal advisor is working on it at this point, trying to iron out some of the issues. Hopefully by the first of August something will be in place to get me the hell out of here.
