Reply #59: Emigrate? [View All]

[Muddy Waters Guitar]

A buddy of mine raised this possibility only half-facetiously in reference to the prospective Iran war (while an old economist friend of mine was not facetious at all in suggesting the emigration option-- he thinks economic disaster is looming). He called it "voting with your feet--" better sign up to take some language courses and brush up on your French or German, I guess.

At the very least, we apparently can still vote in US elections for a decade or so after emigrating. I know this may sound extreme, but if Bush actually goes and *nukes* Iran, I'd hesitate to call myself an American anymore if "being an American" means supporting unprovoked nuclear strikes on a non-nuclear nation.
