Leave where? Everyone always says that, but where would be better (mainly in terms of civil liberties)?

- jlgreco 13y agoYeah, leaving doesn't work. The solution is sadly not that simple. But neither does voting. How could voting work when the public is not even suppose to be aware of this sort of thing? This sort of secrecy is incompatible with democracy. Without being able to make an informed decision the best you can do is vote for the candidate that assures you that they will have a transparent administration.... oh wait.
- sneak 13y agoYes, it works great. I know because I tried it.
- jlgreco 13y agoLeaving works for individuals fortunate enough to be in a position where it is feasible. Unfortunately it is not a solution that can be applied across the board. Even assuming every concerned American had the means to leave, such a mass exodus of Americans would surely cause concern in any country they might wish to flee too.
- sneak 13y agoOnly the innovators need emigrate for the plan to work, fortunately.
- tokenizer 13y agoCanada? I say this as a Canadian who's aware of our own issues...
- joering2 13y agoLeave to the smaller country. Like Saint Lucie, for example. Any smaller in size and as result less economically/technologically developed country where technology is in bare use, not to mention in broad use by country's government. Ultimately, there won't be a rock or an inch of earth left without some satellite taking high-res 60 stills per second and some sort of sonic device taking 3-d snapshots of a sound-field. But before then, hopefully our generation will be dead. Earth is truly become Orwellian's nightmare. Now I understand why Musk said we need to go to Mars; otherwise we extinct.
- bdcravens 13y agoI can't speak to Saint Lucie specifically, but I always wonder the same thing when someone mentions a specific country: are they speaking to rights afforded to everyone who comes in, or just citizens? How long until one is made whole in that country?
- flyinRyan 13y agoA lot of places are better in terms of civil liberties. Most of western Europe (though stear clear of the UK).
