Heh. Good points, both of you. I've been trying to stay as far away from politics as possibly since the election, though. I'm afraid that I'm still a bit too shell-shocked by the last four years to keep up anymore... My current modus operandi is to put myself in the best position possible, and if things go to far, try to find affordable housing in Ontario. I know it seems ludicrous to a lot of people (mostly those dwelling in the comfort level of the middle class) that rational Americans are seriously considering immigration to other locales (New Zealand is pretty nice, if a bit underdeveloped still), but being educated doesn't predispose me to passionlessness. So far the only thing keeping me in the States is that I can't find a good payment gateway for overseas, and I absolutely refuse to use PayPal. grin
