Someone asked in my journal comments section, ‘What, you haven’t left yet? What are you waiting for?’<\/p>\n
It’s a good question. Especially since as we all know, when a country goes down the tubes and turns into a police state, it often becomes very difficult to leave. Obviously, if I had any common sense, I’d be catching one of the lifeboats out of the sinking ship U.S.S. USA.<\/p>\n
But I don’t have any common sense. I’ve proved that time and time again. Common sense would imply that you don’t build your own EV just because you can’t buy one – common sense would imply that you don’t write things that might annoy the powers that be – common sense says don’t rock the boat because you’re sitting in it..<\/p>\n
Did anyone catch Michael Moore at the Oscars? (I’m sure most of you did, or have heard of it). When asked why he said the things he did, he said – and I quote – ‘Because I am an American’. Nothing else. When asked ‘That’s all’, his reply? ‘That’s a lot.’<\/p>\n
The idea of being run out of my country by a bunch of disguisting, pathetic, lying, cheating, murdering politicos rankles me beyond belief. <\/p>\n
I didn’t even want to be run off of my bit of sidewalk at a antiwar protest in LA – it was only a combination of the inconvenience of being arrested in another state and the fact that I was so thirsty I thought I was going to faint that caused me to leave. [Yes, that’s right, in LA the cops stated that we could not stand peacefully on the sidewalk. We weren’t blocking traffic, we weren’t breaking things – but apparently, our first amendment right to peacefully assemble is no longer valid. Another casualty of Bush’s war]<\/p>\n
I don’t like being run off. I’m stubborn. I admit it.<\/p>\n
So, caller, there’s your answer. The reason I haven’t left yet is because I’m stubborn and I have no common sense. Make sense?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
