Un emigrate - is that even a word? Can I do it 3 generations on?

I just finished up this article from Foreign Policy in Focus. I know what you will say - (you being My Father) that is naive and simplistic to be annoyed with the fact that the US can't keep their fingers out of anyone's pie, and that If US government did stick their fingers in other countries for my benefit, I would not live my cushy middle class life that I have.

But, I can't help but be depressed and disappointed in how, seemingly, there is no place on the planet that can can say it is totally free of the Plucking of the Political Web by the US.

This pressuring and politicking, the tweaking from afar that the US imposes on other countries always seems to result in unintended eventualities that end up killing people or fucking up economies or blowing up common laborers houses. I realize that one can't see every eventuality or unintended consequence. But it does seem to me that if your own agenda, hidden or not, shapes your position and focus to the point that that is the only lens you see things from, then you start to JUST NOT CARE what happens to other people if your agenda is served.

And I am sorry to say that I am just not ok with that. I don't like it and I am embarrassed that the government behaves like that. Call me naive, but the US government looks suspiciously like perpetrators in my financial exploitation cases - give them 20 minutes, ask some simple questions about the allegation, and their hidden agenda is glaring at you. I don't want to be associated with this. It is wrong. It is against my midwest sensibilities -my sensibilites that don't translate to the McMansions and the credit cards and the excessive consumption of junk and junk news and i could go on and on and on and on).

I fear that no matter who becomes president, it is a foregone conclusion that the US is out of control and I often don't recognize it. Or maybe it was always like this and I just didn't want to look at it.

So maybe I will move to Sweden and drive a taxi. I am 3 generations removed from the language and all I can say is Hej Doa! (hello/goodbye!)

Is it too much to hope that we could just stay out of other people's business and take care of our own?
