I wouldn't leave the country over politics which is why I am not thinking of leaving. Intellectually, this country is dead to me now. There is little interest among the masses in science or truth or any of the principles which guide my life. However, it is still a good place for me to live my day to day life. At my age, I would only leave if I thought another country would provde a significatly better lifestyle and I don't think that would be that easy to find. I guess I could reconsider when I am comfortably ready to retire.
