Flutterby™! : U. S. of A.

While I'm meta-weblogging real quick this morning, two other things worth noting. First, Cam is back, and he's got some perspective on being an American just back from Siberia. And Diane wants the world to know that she's not a bully.

I've expressed some displeasure before to some of the drawbacks of being a part of these larger United States, and with what I see as the coming changes in the economic and R&D climate I'm pondering a bit not only what state I'd like to live in, but whether my long held assumptions about the U.S. being my best chance for opportunity are still correct. I think they are, and I'm willing to accept that this administration is a temporary swing, but I'm a little more open than I have been.
