I know The Lounge isn't supposed to be political, but......

[liberaltrucker]

I'm really tempted to say "fuck it" and head north. Am I wrong?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

1. In the end, what's north that isn't also in the south?

It's a thin line to draw, that between where you are and where you think you want to be...

[liberaltrucker]

4. I was thinking

With the bullshit here in the USA.......O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee

[Crazy Guggenheim]

2. "Isn't supposed to be political"????

5. Vancouver rocks!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear KitchenWitch!

You're on! I had thought you wouldn't be.......oh goody!

How are you, and your computer tonight?

And yes, Vancouver rocks!

We (my husband and I) nearly moved there after we saw it......

:loveya: :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

14. Other stuff came up that got in the way of my computer today

I may have to wait until Monday...

I am doing well! Just busy with the kids.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. I am glad you are doing well!

I hate to see you sick......:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

21. Yeah, me too

My energy is coming back (good thing since the house went to shit while I was sick!)

[liberaltrucker]

11. Howdy, KW

I'm in your lair....Stockmans Truck Stop in South St Paul:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

15. Holy shit...that is not far from me at all!

How long you there?

[liberaltrucker]

18. Loading in Eagan in the morning

Going to El Paso, TX.

[KitchenWitch]

20. Oh man

Wish I had known sooner...I would have loved to have a cup of coffee with you!

Give me more advance warning next time (I am in Bloomington...all I would have to do to get to you is hop on 494 to 52).

[liberaltrucker]

24. Damn, damn, damn!!!!!!

I delivered at SuperValu on West Old Shakopee Rd this morning. Been sitting on my ass all day(out of legal hours). If only I'd known:sigh:

[KitchenWitch]

26. Damn that is like less than 2 miles from my house!

:cry:

[liberaltrucker]

28. I get here maybe 3-4 times a year

Promise to let ya know next time, I can easily park my rig in the M of A:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

29. Cool

I would love that!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Of course you're not wrong, my dear liberaltrucker.....

Feelings are never wrong! And if moving north to Canada would make your life better, then do it!

We'll miss you.......


:cry:

[liberaltrucker]

13. Bunch of Canadians on DU

I'll still be here, if it comes to that.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. I know.......

And our Canadians are wonderful people too!

I'd hate like anything to see you really gone..... :pals:

[liberaltrucker]

22. Thanks, Peg

I'm just depressed about Alito, etc. Seems our country is going down the shitter, and the Dem leadership is letting it happen. Just MHO.

[XemaSab]

7. God forbid you should post something political on DU!

:eyes:

[RevCheesehead]

8. I just knew it.

"Behold, the power of cheese." :loveya:

[liberaltrucker]

9. A bit farther north, my dear

:loveya:

[swag]

12. People wear fewer clothes down south.

[liberaltrucker]

16. Yeah, but there's lots to be said about....................

peeling off those winter layers:evilgrin:

[swag]

23. I see you have thought this thing through.

I respectfully withdraw my comment.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

25. Nah, ya gotta stand and fight.

That ain't politics. It's patriotism. :patriot:

[liberaltrucker]

30. Fight, huh?

All I got is a Glock and a Mossberg 12 GA. How the hell do I fight a M1A1?

[GrpCaptMandrake]

39. Hold your fire

Tank commanders go out to pee.

I'll never forget the first time we went to Shiloh on a school field trip. There was this impression that the war between the states was fought by equal armies. That shattered at Shiloh. The North fought in organized, uniformed units. The southern dead, on the other hand, had the bare accoutrments on an army. And got buried in a trench, nameless, but not forgotten.

Your Mossburg a pump-action? Mine is.

If you get bored, look into Robert Heinlein's "Sixth Column."

[enigmatic]

27. If you do, look me up

I'm an expat living in Alberta (5 years this year); I love it here..

[liberaltrucker]

31. You got it, if I do

Still got some soul-searching to do.

[enigmatic]

34. I understand

I came up here a few months before 9/11 to be w/ my now-wife. I've fallen deeply, madly in love w/ Canada, and though I'll always be a US Citizen, I don't think I'll ever come back to live..

[liberaltrucker]

36. I envy y'all....

just be happy. That's what life's for. As for us, we'll see. BTW, would it be ok if I said "hey, y'all,eh?:rofl:

[enigmatic]

37. Ha!

:rofl: ;-)

[Robeson]

32. If I could financially afford it, my wife and I would be gone in a....

...heartbeat. North's great. There's also New Zealand, and various destinations in Europe. I'm tired of the Empire.

[liberaltrucker]

35. Ah, the Southern Hemisphere

Maybe we should rethink our compass heading:toast:

[LSK]

33. wait and see how 2006 elections go

Thats key.

[liberaltrucker]

38. I'm thinking that, too

but with Diebolt, etc, who's to trust the count. We gotta face it, we're a goddam 3rd world country, in '70's parlance-a banana republic:cry:
