It was your ass who complained because of the policies of this country they hated you. So if you don't want to be hated, leave, again a novel idea. How about that???? If you don't want to leave, quit fracking complaining and do something about it. Either way it is your own damn choice.

Why would you assume that I am not trying to "do something about it?" Why would you think that my political activism is limited to posting on this board?

My choice (thanks for admitting I have one!) is to continue to speak out about the issues, continue volunteering my time for candidates I believe in, continue writing and calling my elected officials about issues that concern me, continue to discuss issues with friends and co-workers, and continue to vote and encourage others to vote.

But here, once again, you suggest that everyone who disagrees with the majority should give up trying to change anything, and leave the country. You limit my options to leave or shut up.

And you pretend you are not out to stifle my right to free speech?

Quit fooling yourself. You certainly aren't fooling any of us.
