You know how Democrats used to joke about moving to Canada or France if Bush won the last election? Escaping to a country that offers more comprehensive social welfare programs for its citizens. I didn't hear many Republicans threaten to leave the country if Obama won. Is it because there aren't any alternatives that offer freer markets or less government rule?

On Tuesday, the state of Washington legalized physician-assisted suicide, making it only the second state after Oregon to do so. This, obviously, just a slippery slope on the way to giving citizens back control of their lives. The only good thing that can come from this is that perhaps we'll decide duels are okay again, or what I call, faster-man-to-turn-around-assisted suicide. And I can't wait. I've been demanding satisfaction for quite a while now.
