I think I've given up trying to escape america.
You know the metaphor of the frog in boiling water? It's already at a rolling boil--the time to escape was years ago.
I could still drop everything and be outie. Costa Rica, Peru, some place niice. Canada is a bitch to get into, even with a canadian g/f, it's a bitch to immigrate legally. Sneaking across the border is another matter, but one that holds no appeal for me.
I have a lot of projects going on in my life right now, stuff that I'd have to drop were I to become a refugee. Stuff that's going much better for me now than ever before, exciting stuff. I would just hate to run, to feel like I am acting on fear and loose all the good stuff that I have going because of it--and all just to run, where? If America gets THAT bad, then what happens to the rest of the world?
