As people steadfastly claim America is the greatest country on earth, one has to wonder. We certainly need America to be great, we need them to be a superpower, to help protect us from other 'great' countries. But living in New Zealand, I feel a whole lot safer than I would living in America. I love to visit, especially for the music, but when offered the opportunity to work in the States, I decided I felt a whole lot safer raising a family downunder. Of course all countries have their issues and their contradictions.

Judy Garland And Mickey Rooney the Gay Nineties
Not to mention no teaching about the entire decade of the 1890's.
Oh, well... Judy Garland? That's reason enough.
What’s next?
Emigration?
Contraception
Need a good title for my Go Fund Me page:
A) let Judy slip away to Iceland
B) get Sarah McLaughlin to show a picture of Judy ugly crying
C) or Sarah holding a pistol to Judy's head saying, " If you don't contribute, she's dead because of you" ( queue sad puppy music )
D) hide in Barry and Melissa's steamer trunk on their next visit. ( Please remember to cut holes)
D) But I'm not ruining my suitcase. Hold you breath

Well, some shows never quite lose their flavor...
How many Americans would they accept as political refugees?
