10. Malaysia
Sometimes, I *almost* think about moving back! If Dubya gets "re-elected" I might move to Malaysia or England. Seriously.

11. After reading Krugman's book
I'm seriously considering Canada. Thing is, I love my liberal hometown -- Oakland, CA. And my house. I even like my job. Sigh.

9. Geography 101
Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. It is not synonymous with England.

13. I am well aware of that
As well I am also aware that people from those places don't consider themselves British

18. So the English...
Edited on Mon Oct-06-03 06:25 PM by mrfrapp
aren't worthy of a poll option? Interesting....

I do have to wonder why you presented Britain as a option at all if you consider the Scots and the Welsh as non-British. It doesn't occur to you that the English might not consider themselves British?

For what it's worth, I consider myself an Earthling. Nationalism, or even regionalism is a non-starter for me.

(on edit: clarification of Opinion)

19. Well the English Folks I talk to
Consider themeselves British.. as well as English. So, I put that in so, at the same time I could cover unionist North Irish
