Reply #35: Well, they have martial law in Iraq [View All]

And it seems like people are still able to do things the authorities don't like. People escaped from Stalinist Russia, Nazi Germany, etc. People manage to sneak into Israel from the West Bank, even from the Gaza strip sometimes. And those borders are a lot more heavily patrolled, and a lot shorter, than the US-Canadian border.

Maybe I wouldn't make it, who knows. But if I lived in a place like that, even if it were here, I would try to leave.

And yeah, you're right, if I was convinced martial law was going to happen, I should get out now. But I'm not.
