I don't think "quitting" is the word for it. Quitting what, exactly? It's not like we're still in the middle of the 1700's where freedom didn't exist. It's not like freedom and the practice of "everyone is equal" is restricted to JUST the US these days.

If, in this day and age, you STILL have battles to fight for equality, then something is wrong. Not with the SYSTEM, but with the people. Perhaps the country deserves to decay in its own ignorance..

I'm not gonna up and move there Canada anytime soon, but I can see how it's a pretty attractive alternative seeing as how they're just as free and more open-minded than the US.

I don't live in Canada, so I don't know how important or pressing these issues are to them, but are these things even problems over there? From my perspective, it seems people over there are more open minded and that this shit doesn't even bother them. Gay marriage, abortion, marijuana, alcohol, guns, so on.. All of their laws regarding this seem more lienient than ours! (Correct me if I'm wrong) Sounds like they got the better deal.
