Leaving the Country

Just noticed another article today about someone who will be leaving the country if Bush wins election:
http://www.wunderland.com/WhatsOld/2004/WN.10.07.04.html

These are the folks who put out Fluxx & other games.

They're also not the first people I know who are planning to leave the country if Bush wins reelection and probably will anyway because Bush has spotlighted what a crappy direction this country is going in. Personally, I'd be tempted if a couple of things (cats, health insurance) wouldn't make leaving the country a big deal.

Given that liberals are usually smarter & better educated than conservatives, statistically, you have to wonder how much of an intellectual drain it'll be  in the next years if this exodus grows.

Me, I'm just left wondering if Looneys fire dancing set their hair on fire.

And speaking of Fluxx, I forgot to e-mail you last week when I found the Fluxx deck you sent me in my mailbox this week. Thanks for sending it!

Andy clarified the next week to say that the key factor was really the upcoming Supreme Court decision about marijuana more than Bush being elected.
