Canadia

I think I'm tired of trying to change things here. I could move just a few hours away and not have to think about it.

I wonder how long and difficult it would be to emigrate to Canada.

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.

I just think about what the future holds for my family here and it's not pretty. All of the crap we go through just for Jen to have legal rights to her own kid, and yet we still have to do all this weird stuff with federal taxes, and it sucks to not have your marriage recognized.

Add to that the fact that college tuition in the US is crazy NOW, what the heck is it going to be like in 18 years? I'll never be able to send my kid(s) to school. Ugh.
