I am so tired of it and should finally learn to shut up about politics. I will say this: I really dislike the far right in my country. I am seriously thinking of moving to Vancouver or Toronto when the girls are gone. That's August 2011. This is a really really ugly country now. Not the country I grew up in at all.
