Just sayin

I've lived in the US most of my life and never been to the Grand Canyon. I've always wanted to. I've flown over it, but never got closer than 30,000 feet.

So it's not particularly useful for me to announce that I'm joining a boycott of a state I've never been to. Instead, here's me saying that when Arizona repeals its deranged immigration law I will go to the Grand Canyon within the year. Reverse boycott: Arizona does the right thing and I'll be one of the people who helps the state recover from the devastating economic impact of its blind, dumbass racism.

Yay. I've always wanted to see the Grand Canyon.

PS "Repeal" means repeal: not "change a few details slightly to sound less disgusting"

Obama has been blamed for everything lately, including, I hear, being the antichrist... I mean, what? Just... what? What IS the deal with the Health insurance thing anyway? I mean, we have a National Health Service and it's supposed to be a GOOD thing...

Agreed. I am not so worried as some about labour continuing in power because I'd like to think of the next five years as being a kind of fresh start. I also find it somewhat rediculous to have all this blame being hammered back and forth when effectively, whoever's in control is going to be rowing against the current for the next few decades. We're not at a good position, financially, economically, or even environmentally right now, and that's not going to go away if somebody other than labour gets into the hotseat.

If I were america, I suspect I'd swing somewhat towards the left, too ;)
