I have been pondering something recently. I have an admission to a graudate program in Canada that's good for this year and I was going to but due to some debt I got into trying to fix the house up to sell it I had to get the school to give me a one year deferrment.
My pondering revolves around whether or not I should leave for school up there with some debt or stay here (in small town Tennessee) until August 06 when I would then leave debt free. Right now I'm working from the leave next year plan.
What scares me is the way we as a country are headed and how fast it seems we are headed there. Everyday I read here and other places how quickly we are descending. I'm just wondering when is it time to leave?
More after the break...
What spooks me the most is as a liberal openly gay man in a smallish middle Tennessee town I want to be well out of the way when the evil once and for all hits the fan. None of my friends believe me when I tell them it's going to happen and if but just when. It's not too late for me to go this year I would just have to magically find about 11 or 12 grand to banish some debt and I would leave like a bolt of lightining. Being that I also really don't like my job but it pays well so that being the reason I'm staying.
More and more I don't have much faith that when next summer does roll around I will actually get to leave because with Bush in the WH and republicans in control of both houses a lot can happen in a week much less a year. Take this week for example Rogers-Brown and Pryor were given seats on the Federal Bench and the Patriot Act round 2 now with even more facist power came out of the Senate Inteligence committee.
I've never been on to take big financial risks which leaving this year would surely be but damn this country is nearly getting too spooky for me to stay in.
