enough is enough
I wrote a lot of reasons,
I erased them, because It doesn't make any sense, I'm tired to complain, I don't see Americans standing next to each other and PROTEST

All I want to say is, we moved to the USA in 1996 (mid of the Olympics) and everybody back in Germany said: Wow, you are going to the USA, how lucky you must be!!!!!.......

Now back to Germany, they ask all the time: why in the world are you living there???!!!, when are you coming back????

We still wait for better times, before we will say, this was a try, we go back to Europe(Swiss) and try something else!

By the way, we belong to those investors, which the country is not exactly want to loose..................!!!!!

Here in Georgia we paid taxes in the last few years, it's more than their budged.........OK it told you more than I should, but I'm a member of DU and I want you to know, that we still want to live in USA, because we separate the people we relay do love and this Government, we just can't like and hope, there will be a change soon.

Ask me all the questions you want, I just tell you, 9 years ago, when we moved, all of our European friends where jealous and now they feel sorry for us!!!!!

4. I lived in the US
I lived in Fort Slaughterdale, Florida for some months in the past - an experience that's for sure. Gun shops, pawnshops, boats and people killing people everyday.

Canada is what the US should be - a kinder, gentle nation that does not run so much on oil and greed - you should move north if you want to stay in that part of the world. Or come back to Europe where the Bush tentacles don't control. Unfortunately the US has become completely fueled on greed - Enron as well as the BFEE raping of the country's treasury being two examples of how success and theft work hand in hand with greed and ignorance. It's terrible to think that greed is acceptable - in Holland, flaunting of wealth is considered somewhat tacky with modesty being more normal.

If you want to stay in the US, move to Seattle or another northern city where you will find euro friendly folks and a better environ for yourself.

6. People are starting to wake up, Daphne
I'm about as cynical as they come, but even I see it. The question in the end is, will the Fundies and Neo-Cons fight to the death to keep their power by fast-tracking their version of The End Days?

If they do, then there's going to be a civil war. Just be prepared for that, unfortunately.
