Hey you have a right to live wherever you wish- but change is absolutely unavoidable anywhere, in any aspect of your life.
What a huge load of crap. In ANY aspect of my life? Would that include who my family is or my religon or my own sense of integrity or ... I think you get the picture. You sound like you're recently out of college, yeah I went to U.T. too. Gonna take a while to get all that socio/politico/activist crap outa your system. In the mean time, try to minimise the damage.
