And yes it is AmeriCa - as in "C-ya" later if you don't like it here. Don't sit and bitch about how terrible life here is - get the hell out. Why should you leave, you ask? You are the one complaining about it - not us.
If I go to the store and get treated like crap, I take my business elsewhere. I don't sit around and bitch about the employees but still shop there, because there are plenty of other places for me to shop. Same applies to where you live.
But then again, why do I bother? People have to want to make it work -- you can't just say "I have an open mind" knowing that the "closed" sign is superglued to the front door.

There is much you have to learn. My family too, fought and died for this wilderness of the west in the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korean Conflict, Vietnam and Desert Storm, but that didn't stop the Klan from lynching them... Or much more psychologically damaging--racial profiling, shooting and killing them...
