Via con dios. I'm a blue collar paycheck to paycheck schlub. I have to stay. I have to survive. In the end I will bring a strong back and a shovel to clean up the mess.

It's funny, reading your sad little statement while thinking about the countless immigrants who left everything to start a new life in America, back before the fascists took control. We really are a sad little nation now, in more ways than one.

I'm telling you that I don't want to be involved in a conflict beyond my control but I'm willing to stay and work for a better life on the other side of the violence, and you're saying that it's a sad statement compared to the immigrants who left their violent countries to pursue a better life in a country with no war?

Can you understand your mistake here? I'm not leaving. I want to survive and use my skills to rebuild what I can after the 2-digit IQ war is over. I'm sad because I'm volunteering to clean up the mess?
