You have thoughtful and valid observations. Yet, I suspect, you'd
agree in spite of these issues and other problems we still live in a
great country. Some of us could live nearly anywhere we'd like, but
there just hasn't been much migration from the United States.

I do know a fair number of well educated foreign nationals living and
working here (legally), but very few of my friends have gone abroad
for a serious length of time to advance their careers. It may be my
sampling is biased, I've been privileged to live near well known
universities most of my adult life.


In the past 20 years, I've been fortunate enough to have traveled
fairly extensively. I believe I live in one of the most beautiful
cities in the greatest country in the world. But the fact that it's
not as bad as other places doesn't mean I'm willing to let it get
worse.
