That is key. Is it bad, good--I don't have the answer to that. I know that I have left the country once for opportunity and will probably leave again later this year or early next year. This time I will not be so quick to return.
My children will probably grow up internationally. I hope to instill in them the ability to go where the opportunities are.
In some ways that is very frightening. I imagine my kids telling stories of what mom says America used to be like.
