I don't disagree that Canada would be awesome.

But, but...we need you here.

And I can't help but think, while slow, things are changing. Not fast enough sure, but they are.

We are choosing amongst a black man and a woman for President.

I guess I'm an optimist. If all the progressives bailed for Canada in the sixties/seventies, the Civil Rights and Women's Movements would never have happened.

Of course, I don't have a spouse and/or a baby, so I have much less to lose by staying than you.
