It's Over

Author: Stephen DeVoy

Some of us have been hanging tough, hoping for an improvement or even a light at the end of the tunnel that is the descent of America into Hell.  I know I have.  Well, I regret to inform you that I found this very, very, very powerful four dimensional telescope and looked far, far ahead into the future and what I saw is not good.  That's putting it lightly.  Let me reword it, what I've seen is the grim reality of a nation without freedom, without hope and without an economy.  That's it, folks.  It's over.

Now, if you've been waiting for things to improve, stop waiting.  It's not going to get better.  It's only going to get worse - much, much worse - worse than you can imagine.  Let me put it this way, you won't live long enough to see the United States turn around and no, that's not because the United States is about to evaporate under the bright flash of a nuclear weapon, it's because the United States is going to have a very long, slow death brought about not by weapons of mass destruction but by a plague of ignorance.  At the head of this plague of ignorance you have the New Republican party with rank and file red-necks following behind it, waving their flags with glossy eyes (the kind you see bulging from the faces of cult members) and behind them, a long train of tired looking Democrats trying to figure out where the fuck their going and why their going their but not doing anything about their predicament.

There you are, watching this or perhaps wandering there with the Democrat zombies, and here I am writing to you and urging you to snap out of it.  SNAP OUT OF IT!  The United States of America may be on a death march, but you don't have to follow along like a pathetic lemming, dragging your legs to the abyss.  It might surprise you to know this, but we can actually leave!  Yes!  We can leave the United States and not come back, taking with us our talent, our expertise and our idealism.  To north there is Canada.  Things are kind of similar there, only more rational and that rational difference makes a big difference.  To the southeast there is Cuba.  If you are a hardcore socialist, why head to Cuba?  Sure, Cuba is authoritarian but Castro won't be around forever, in fact, he may not make it through another year.  Cuba could use your technical skills and the weather is great.

Of course, there is Mexico and Central America.  Things aren't great there right now, the economy is poor, but perhaps a large influx of Americans equipped with their first world skills could turn things around?  South America is another option.  Chile is doing well.  Brazil even has a space program.

My point is simple, you don't have to put up with Bush and his legion of zombies.  I don't have to put up with them. What are we waiting for?  After fighting hard for so long to keep this country from committing national suicide, don't we deserve a break?  After all, we are not the one's who decided to march to Hell.  Let the zombies carry on without us.

And yes, the zombies will cheer our departure.  They will chide us and cluck like hens over their great fortune to be rid of us, but that is all for the better.  They won't erect barriers to our departure until its too late - for them.
