Not a bad back-up plan!
You will be eating a lot better, that's for sure. And certainly you will be drinking better.
You'll have full access to one of the best health-care systems on the planet.
You'll have an open and serious media in which real issues are actually debated by intelligent people.
You'll live in a land where a no-talent frat boy will never be elected president, and where major foreign policy decisions are not made by a guy in consultation with "his God".
You'll live in a land that has a judicial system that is relatively swift and fair and accessible , and a penal system that rehabilitates, rather than just incarcerates.
You'll live in a land with an education system that doesn't graduate generation after generation of functional illiterates.
You'll live in a land that has learned from it's past mistakes, and no longer engages in unilateral military adventurism abroad.
Oh yes, you'll be dressing a lot better too...and then of course there are French women. Mon Dieu! And you have the best driving roads in all of Christendom!
That's one hell of a back up plan!
I'm sure I missed a few things. But maybe Mule can help me out with the rest.
