There are many values I and many progressive Americans share, but they aren't the values of the US government and a majority of American voters today.

We also have to deal with that.

How about we start organizing a secessionist movement, and all the Northeast, Upper Midwest and West Coast blue states join with Canada, and leave the southerners and westerners behind to watch NASCAR, and live according to their Good White Male God Fearing Values?

Come on folks! Let's secede from the Union, and then none of us has to move! Well, most of us don't have to anyway...

Both my kids, a son and a daughter, are currently of draft age. I remember my mother in law saying, when our kids were all being born, that we'd have to fight a war, because so many boys were being born into the family, compared to girls. A bit prophetic, that mom in law of mine.

Depending on how the next few months and the Iraq war goes, I will definitely counsel my kids to leave the country if the draft is reinstated, and I'll go with them, be it to Canada, Europe, or Latin America. But we'll go.

And frankly, if all that is left behind are the sell out Republicrats, well... may they bloody well get what they fought this election to get--more war.
