The ways it has got worse are to do with Bush, he is to blame for everything!! :D Seriously though the rising cost of my health insurance (My hubbie is one of the uninsured) and the fact that the 2004 election bought all the bible bashing to the forefront and discovered that friends I had thought that divorced people go to hell (maybe this is why no-one talks politics) That's why I'm off to Blighty!! |

My part of the US has become better since I move here. I think my presence helps! :D

There are so many hispanics now, its like basically living in Mexico, or at least Miami. I'm in Orlando right now, but I plan to move elsewhere as soon as possible. Maybe back to England yet again.

No doubt that the US has become a "worse place" generally, and this is almost entirely down to President Asshat and his policies of 'fear' linked to his media manipulation and generally ignorant stupidity.
Worry about healthcare has got a million % worse too. Costs, out of pockets and premiums just rocketing with no apparent justification We actually moved from somewhere that was almost entirely 'white redneck' (where neighbours used the 'n' word for the one family that wasn't) to somewhere that was supposed to be equally 'conservative' (which we are not) but turned out to be wonderfully cosmopolitan. We can spend time on equal footing with 'equals' and not have to be frightened about mouthing off about the whole right-wing/religious bullshit I guess the trick to try and make the most of wherever you live, and if it doesn't suit - for whatever reason - you find somewhere else. Hey, it's a biiiiiiiig country. |
