Yes! That first part, exactly! I was born here, I've lived here my whole life. There are places in the world that I might like to visit, sure, but there are places here where I want to live. And sure, I might want to live in different places within this country, but I like speaking english and driving on the right side of the road.
Maybe, in the fullness of time, I might decide one day that I would like to live somewhere else, but that is not a decision that I want to be informed by a terror of a giant bureaucratic organization that might kill or imprison me.
Plus, I really really suck at learning new languages. I've tried, and I'm sure I could learn them, but I can't find any kind of lessons or method of learning that doesn't bore the crap out of me way before I get out of the beginning stages. Maybe if I hired a tutor, but damn, I aint rich.
In all things, be informed, and do it for the right reasons! :)
I am not prey, so I don't just RUN. I CHOOSE.
