    What we have in the United Stated is different. People in politics can be impeached for criminal activity and replaced.... or voted out of office. There is no need to leave the country, just work to make it better.

    Have you ever served your country in any military capacity? The past speaker of the house in NJ served as a conscious objector and then served as a Republican politician for many years. I can and do respect his views but I also have the freedom to disagree with him as to the way to defend my country. I am also a supporter of second amendment rights.

    Warfarin can save life (well, postpone death). I had a hearth thrombosis and after several months of a warfarin regimen it was dissolved.

    Well, like I said in my day people fled to Canada to avoid going to Vietnam - there was a draft, I volunteered.

    I believe it's a way of saying we are on the verge of war - probably WWIII.

    If we launch air strikes on Syria and Russia launches air strikes on the US fleet in the Med in retaliation, how close would you say we'd be then?

    No. We can't use choppers against Russia. Sitting ducks is what the choppers would be.

    A long way off from war. If the U.S. and Russia go to war, civilization as we know it is over. Think Mad Max, The Road Warrior.

    Once the clot above my heart was dissolved I took myself off the Warfarin against my cardiologists orders.
    I believe it had its purpose, it worked. Deo volante of course

    The thrombosis was caused by the pacemaker surgery at my last heart failure of which I have absolutely no memory.

    For which I am thankful to the LORD. Each day is a gift of life here on earth.

    I have seen a new granddaughter and possibly my first great grandchild.

    :Biggrin
