Our Country's Karma is in the toilet
We can say what we want about our politics and our liberalism, but unless you're writing from JAIL, then you're Blowing Smoke.

Ask any Buddhist, or Hindu, or REAL Christian for that matter: if you pay ONE PENNY of tax to a government that supports:

Aggressive War
Torture
Fraud
Lies
ETCETERA

Then Karma/Dharma holds YOU personally responsible for the actions of that government.

If you paid a couple of bucks to the Fed this week (and who didn't?), then YOU bought a bullet.
If you paid your income taxes last year (and who didn't?), then you bought a rifle, 1000 rounds of ammo and a dozen grenades.

I can't go to jail, and I can't support this government with my taxes one minute longer than absolutely necessary and still sleep at night.

I continue frantically with my Canadian Immigration plans, and I don't feel one iota of "You are running away" guilt. I'm sacrificing my livelihood and my
legacy to do this, and it still isn't atonement enough for my sins.

May the gods have mercy on the land; I wouldn't.

4. Yeah, and WE are under that elephant.
Think of it like stepping into a big pile of dogshit with your brand new suede shoes. Every time you look at them, you will NEVER see them as "clean."

We may come back a little higher on the "wheel" than the cockroach that will be Bush, but not much. WE make him possible, no matter what we say, unless we put our actual bodies on the line.

Think of the guy standing in Tianemen Square in front of the tank, and you get the picture.
