When I remember the absolutely adorable US immigration people I've dealt with, I want to cry (the guy in Boston, who when he'd established that a) I was visitng my sister and b) she'd married "one of us" - ie, an American, cheerfully commented "there goes the family" and the lovely guy in San Francisco who said to me "oh you don't want to go to LA to see your friend, stay here, you'l have a much better party). But I saw that article at the weekend, and I have sadly concluded that I cannot go to America at the moment.
Re the Christian Exodus people: a) various American friends have commented along the lines of "South Carolian seceding? Don't they *read* history?" and b) I have been informed by a fundie American that Catholics are not Christians. To which I can only respond with a Compton McKenzie quote:
Presbyterian Minister: "Oh well, Father, we're all labourers in the same vineyard."
