Reply #19: I bailed because I didn't want my children to wait 20 years in a disadvantageous environment while..

things "might" be fixed. The US is the follower, with the UK, in social upward mobility (American Dream). Thats not going to change soon, and staying here would of subjected my children to a statistically proven caste/class system.

I decided to leave before Kerry lost, not because I was hopeless that the Democrats would change things. But pain would be experience in the meantime...needless pain and suffering, and despite such, there is no guarantee things will move where they need to. Even if I wanted to fight and be part of the solution, its not my right to enroll my children to be soldiers in such a fight.
