... Fuck ... Why? ... and we thought anti-Americanism was strong abroad before ...
I will stay here and try to work within the system to promote positive change. But, much like various conservative voters, I too have my issues on which I will not compromise. If any of these get violated, I'll go Dutch.
Draft.
If we start drafting people, I'm a out of here. Even if I'm not on the list.
The new deal gets repealed.
The old deal sucked. If they bring it back, I'm gone.
We amend the constitution to hate gays
Too much concentrated hate in what I've always thought of as a pretty sacred document gets me too riled up to stay.
Abortion becomes illegal in all states
Much like the previous one, I would both be really disgusted with my fellow man, and I would also have to move elsewhere if I wanted to live with [livejournal.com profile] goteam
This is not complete. These conditions are sufficient, but not necessary. If IP laws get too strong and free speech laws are too weakened, then I won't be able to practice my trade of CS research, and so will be forced to leave. If I get too much shit from the guy in charge about how I'm not a "real American", I'll leave him to his "real" America. If the economy falls to the point where we all wander bankrupt through a wasteland of strip mall churches, I'll leave. If we start another war based on lies, I'll probably go elsewhere, but that war would also probably mean a draft, so I'm already covered there. And one should have as few axioms in a system as possible.
