What state do you live in? Is it liberal? If so, why don't you just move out? Have you considered the costs of moving? What about your conservative friends and family who can't move with you? What if you've worked all your life for your property? Should you leave it and start over or stay and fight for what's right? I hope you get my point.

Cathy Buckle and her husband lobbied and worked hard for the social reforms ruining Zimbabwe today. She won't move, she's reveling in her little socialist mecca, complete with social justice and restrictions of liberty.

I for one tire of her complaints. She should either live with her handiwork or do what many others have done, become a "When-We" in SA or elsewhere.

I get your point, but the woman has *nothing* positive to say, ever. SHe constantly bemoans how awful things are and, at some point, even dedicated people need to get out--sort of like the human version of throwing good money after bad. And, please, comparing someone *anywhere* in the US (no matter how liberal the state) to the horror stories she seems to tell on a near-weekly basis is just a bit tenuous...
