[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2928589, member: 24302"] I've been a citizen my entire life, a taxpayer since 16. I have done my part in the system and am now choosing this time in my life to pursue other goals. Isn't that at the bedrock of our democracy sir? "The Pursuit of Happiness?" Do you believe in individual liberty sir? Or do you feel we are wards of the State and owe everything, even our lives, to it? If you do then you and I have fundamental differences in our beliefs as to what constitutes a free and open society. I did not create this mess our country finds itself in. I am just one individual trying to navigate my way through it with limited means. I have worked hard all my life with little to show for it. And have had to sit at home watching a large portion of the world go off on holidays to enjoy themselves with the toys they acquired, coming back to nice homes with all the comforts, assured in the knowledge that their futures were reasonably bright and secure. I finally have the chance to do something unique with my life, to enjoy as much of it as I can while I can, and your little boobird of unhappiness won't begin to slow me down. I take no joy in your obsessive misery, only wish you peace and joy in your own life, and if you can't find it, eternal peace when that day arrives. God bless you, may he bless us all. [/QUOTE]
