As hard as this may be to accept for many of us, the US is still the best country to live in for the lifestyle that most of us choose. I'm not happy with the results of the national elections from last night, but the fact of the matter is that America is still the most free country in the world. Eight years of failed policies (like we are looking at) is going to hurt, and probably drag this country down like no other administration in our history, but its still better than Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Western Europe. All of which are fine places, but none of them hold a candle to the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy, and will continue to enjoy, in the US. We have some dark days ahead, but we will get through them as we always have.

If you want things to get better, start paying attention to politics. The only thing that will change this country is if we have a more informed electorate.

I am a proud "Democrat-assisting" Libertarian. I voted according to my personal values and neither the President or the Republican had anything that inspired me to vote for them.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship.”
Alexander Fraser Tyler, “The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic”

hang on and buckle up, I think we've hit the tipping point...

The american people will only react when it gets so bad that it can not be hidden from even those that like it. What we need now is an enemy we can all hate and fight against.
