We are not welcomed here. So there's only one thing for us to do. It's what they've been telling us to do for a long time. You remember, America, love it or leave it.

ã �� ��

It's time for us to give it to them. Let them have it. It was gained unethically, to say the least. We no longer have to be part of that legacy.

ã �� ��

A mass exodus of all of those people who believe in what the so called founding fathers wrote, yet never practiced, would certainly send a message.

ã �� ��

Those of you who believe that this would be a defeat, think about some of the implications of the word "defeat".

ã �� ��

One implication is that they would have won, would have gotten the best of us. People, they've already done that. Many of the best of us have died for them. We will no longer be here and they will no longer be able to take more of our "best". A mass exodus of us will leave them with their so called country, but it will also leave them with the responsibility to defend that country with their own blood. What little "second class" work will still need to be done will need to be done by them.

ã �� ��

If they want the benefits of what might be called the commons, they'll need to tax one another.

ã �� ��

They will have to live with the externalization of the waste caused by their modernizations and improvements.

ã �� ��

Many of us have no business being here in the first place.
