Never have I been more weary of America and Americans than I am tonight.

The special election outcome in Massachusetts underscored once more for me that nothing will ever improve here.

I'm probably too old and poor to leave this putrid nation of shallow Fox News following fools who, with or without health care coverage themselves, will vote the best of men and women out of office on the "socialized medicine" issue.

Most blue collar Americans--the kinds that put Scott Brown into office in Massachusetts--could not define "socialism" or "socialized medicine" if pressed. But these ignorant fools have been brainwashed for generations that they don't want either, even if they themselves and persons close to them are often dying for lack of medical care or are losing their homes because of non-payment of medical bills.

These stalwart champions of the "American way of life"--ignoramuses all--are as certain as their grandfathers were before them that they don't want "socialized medicine". They voted Martha Coakley down in Massachusetts today primarily because she represented the party of President Barack Obama, who is, in the eyes of the truck drivers, carpenters, plumbers and day laborers of Western Massachusetts, a Muslim, a socialist, and probably an alien not born in their "Amurka"--one bent on forcing "socialism" onto them.

I wish to be as far as possible from these ignorant people and their smutty little working class Bay State neighborhoods--as far as the globe is wide and its circumference great.

I would remove myself to New Zealand, if  that were possible. A more plausible relocation target might be Canada--an alternative I am investigating at this time.

I do not wish to transition to another energy system from the United States of America. I do not wish my ashes dispersed here. I do not wish to have been a despised American as I disembark on the other shore. I detest everything about this nation.
