12. I decided to watch the DVD of 'The Corpse Bride' instead of the ....

SOTU and response.

What does it matter? With repig control of all 3 branches of government and dissent criminalized (witness the arrest of Cindy Sheehan for wearing a T-shirt).

We do not live in the United States of America anymore.

We live in the George W. Bush dictatorship.

If I did not have kids here, one of them handicapped, I would not live in this country anymore.

They are nearly adults now - 1 more year and I can pick them all up and leave, at a great cost. Leaving all my extended family and friends.

I really don't want to leave, but I just can't live here anymore. Perhaps OZ or NZ.

I don't know, but this country is not longer the land of the free and the home of the brave.

It is now the land of the corporate slave and the home of the political cowards - those in our military are by and large brave, but many are depraved perverts who rape their female comrades.

I am ashamed to be an American!!!!!

Please tell me why I should stay?

Dave.
