Re: Love it or leave it...put up or shut up...and other such sentiments

Obviously there are levels of tolerable oppression. I guess my understanding of how oppressive ACers thought the current system was wrong.
Let me put it this way...I have never been in a situation where I felt oppressed ALL THE TIME - where every transaction was oppressive, where walking down the street I felt oppressed because of the terrible monopolistic power of government. I have never felt that the current system is so oppressive that the only way for it not to be oppressive is its dismantling.
If I felt that way, I can't imagine that I'd stick around.

Let me get this straight. You live in a land that you love that has something deeply [censored] up with it, and rather than try to change it, you'd just leave? That's a cop out. I'd rather stay and fight the good fight, no matter how difficult or futile, than take my toys and move to Antarctica.
