Let's face it: our state is dead. Economically destroyed through policies of a corrupt and rotting power structure. This aside, Michigan remains the most beautiful place I've ever seen on this earth.
Walking through campus or trekking back home, I look around me and I see a winter wonderland. This place is a wonderful place.... I can see myself getting a bit older, finding a decent paying position, and building a small house to start a family in. It's just too bad that so many children whose parents have moved south will never be able to experience this hope, this dream.
I, personally, am partially ashamed and partially angry that our government has so subsidized our people and businesses that Michigan's greatest corporations have to go begging to the circus ring we call Congress....
Dr. Melissa Clouthier has a good post on this subject: http://www.melissaclouthier.com/2008/08/05/mourning-michigan-how-liberal-policies-are-killing-the-state-i-love/
After reading the post I hope you will go on to read the comments, the stories, of people who have been forced to leave our great state.
I love this land...it's the best little patch in the whole world...but I'm afraid that the next four years will spell the end of Michigan. The glaciers that carved our wondrous Great Lakes may as well move back in: there will be so many homes for sale that even big, inanimate blocks of ice will be able to afford chunks of real estate.
YOU have to get involved in 2010 and 2012. Let's put some hope and change in office for real this time.

Those comments are frustrating. And the fact that we can't retain someone like the good Doctor is equally cringe-inducing.
701 days until E-Day 2010. No time to spare.
