That's It! I am moving to Canada, or someplace where the stupidest citizens aren't in control of the education system, errrrrrrrrrrr.

well yes, but this is the last straw, or will be if it goes through, and if not, the elections this fall might be. The advantage of Canada over any other place not entirely full of raging IDiots is the fact that I could take the evil Mascot Kitty with me, Otherwise, my first instinct would be to threaten to move to Scandinavia, of course I would also have to learn a new language then, and quite frankly Finnish is way too confusing, I already tried, all I remember is Skool! Well, at least I know how to toast when drinking, an important start. Swedish might be easier, the words at least look pronounceable.
