» Brian Tubbs - In that case...

This country and the world has CHANGED dramatically since the Founding Fathers penned their thoughts, Brian.

Some things should NOT have changed.

For example, the principles enshrined in our Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Those things should NEVER change.

Everyone must decide - on his own - what's important enough to give up one's life for.

And if a person decides that the United States of America is unworthy of his/her love and sacrifice, then that person should leave the country. It's a free country and we are free to leave it. Before you go off on me, this is not an unreasonable thought...

When my children grow up, they will at some point decide to make their own home. When they do, they will leave. And that's fine. No hard feelings. That's the way it should be. Likewise, if someone chooses to leave teh United States, I'm not hating that person or condemning that individual. It's their right. Like you said...their choice.

Please try to see where I'm coming from here. If a person gets to a point where they have been working at XYZ Company for 20 years and they just don't like it anymore. They are not willing to work hard for the company anymore. They don't believe in what that company is doing, well, then they should leave the company and work elsewhere.

This is common sense. Why can't we apply it to our country?
