You're doing it like some snotty little brat who takes his ball and goes home.

Are you intentionally being stupid? That expression implies that I am somehow depriving other people of something important or necessary to them. Not the case, my white friend. I am simply saying, "You know, I don't feel too keen on how things are going here. I just might mosey on to somewhere else."

So why is it that you're taking this as some affront? Though you have the right to bitch me out for what I think, I still have the right to say what I think. And I'll just be terribly heartbroken if you somehow think less of me.

But, its a lot different here. The factors are a lot different. Soldiers aren't breaking your doors down to drag you to a concentration camp( armed populace after all).

So fucking what? Do I have to wait until it gets to that point to feel justified? I don't know what's down the road a few years, but I don't like the prospects. I think you're "misunderestimating" the Bush regime.

Hey, I'll be around a while yet. I'll be voting and writing my congressmen and working with the ACLU, of which I am a member, and all that other good stuff, to try and make a difference. I hope it works. But if things keep going in the direction they're going right now, I don't plan on sticking around a lot longer.

Let's put it this way: If you're trapped in a buillding with a time bomb, are you going to try to get out while you've got fifteen minutes left, or are you going to wait until you're down to ten seconds?
