To clarify:

[fictional]

I feel I must add, that when I said that I, personally, would not leave the country or discuss doing so, I meant at the present time. My life is still far too deeply rooted here for me to think of moving. So, for me to claim that I was leaving, would be ridiculous and melodramatic for me. I think it's a perfectly rational response for other people who have a more fluid situation at the moment.

And while I always thought that I would settle in NYC for the rest of my days, I am re-thinking that. I doubt that I will want to stay for longer than I have to in this jingoistic place.
