Reply #38: I did [View All]

I did it in the late 90's as it seems we all have different temperatures where
our lobster-brains are saying to get out of the heating water.

Ya can't do anything about all the persons you love stateside, and leaving is
a sort of death, that everything in my life that happened before leaving suddenly
became irrelevant. And only in retrospect would i say i left of the rising tide
of the nazi takeover, but it was that fascist tide that drive me offshore.

Maybe some people handle a hard-patriarchy state better, but it was extremely abrasive,
IMO, and i much prefer the social subtlety of britain, its functioning (still, however
much eroded by the blair hackers) democracy, and respect for elderly persons, that
culture is not embraced around the latest tight belly button to wow the cameras.
