Heh, they always say "You're free to leave any time you want". When all we have is Maglev trains that go from one walkable city (e.g. jail) to another, how will you move to the country?

    Yea yea, but you'd change it if you could and then say the same thing that every despot has always said since the beginning of time: "You're free to leave if you want".
