My comment about the economic demise wished upon this state has nothing to do with me personally. I can go anywhere; I'm not tied here, I don't have family here. This is not to say I would run away, but I do have other options if things get crazy.

I do stand up for human rights, and I'm rather vocal about it. My point was that I'm concerned about the people you all claim to be so concerned about. What will happen to THEM if Arizona collapses? Do you think they'll just dust themselves off and start over??? Do you really think an economic collapse of this state is going to magically fix everything?

Stephanie,

I completely understand your concern. You live in Arizona. MY GOD - I would be panicking just about now, if my state was potentially going to see a collapse. I believe your state is in major trouble. I would start looking for an escape route. Truly!

If New York were to instill such a law on the books. I can promise you this. I would start planning on leaving New York. But not before I got off my ass and fought the fight. I would not give my money to a state which discriminates and is no better than those who practice ethnic cleansing. Just because we are not killing people - The propaganda which your state is putting forth, such as the billboard Snow posted earlier - Is license to KILL!

As a member of a country which allows free speech (an oxymoron of sorts). I am embarrassed when I tell people I am american. I am ashamed. And one day when my kids are older - I will leave.

And the people who are against the bill. I am sorry for them. Truly sorry for them. I am hoping they are out looking for jobs in other states. I am also hoping they are campaigning in full force against this. However, we do know this to be true. So many bitch and cry and stomp their feet - but they never use their voices.
