I live in a country (Canada) where I think we have a little more trust in our leaders to have our best interests at heart. Perhaps we are naïve.
Some in this thread have said exactly that--the little nippers usually survive, so fine, let's infect them and be done with it. Appalling.
One of the many disgusting elements of American culture is distrust of the government. What's really rich is that many of those rugged individualists live in rural areas where government money is the only thing that keeps them from drying up and blowing away. We killed millions of Indians and slaughtered countless wildlife to settle regions that weren't worth settling. But walk into any bar in Skeleton Gulch, Wyoming and you'll hear a loud diatribe about that big bad gummint.
I've always admired Canada for being a true democracy, for being diverse without ethnic conflicts, and for putting the interests of its citizens first and foremost.
We, on the other hand, are a nation of idiots, 75 million of whom recently voted for one of the worst human beings to ever walk the planet. He wouldn't have gotten six votes in Canada. You also don't have propaganda outlets masquerading as news sources; those outlets flourish because of the large population of brain-dead nimrods who listen to them.
So can I move there? I understand you still have lots of room
