If you don't like how things are, don't leave. CHANGE THEM. You say "its too hard", bullsh*t. No change is easy, and the more important the change, usually the harder it is. Women's suffrage, Civil rights, the environmental movement. These things took generations to see a real impact. There is nothing we can't do. It may take more then a day of handing out fliers to raise awareness, it may take going to more then one meeting to really get your voice heard. If you're really committed to change and making your country a better place, the best thing you can do is work to be that change. Even if you think "well, it'd just be easier to move somewhere else", of course it would, but think of all the people you'd be abandoning to a fate that you wouldn't accept for yourself. Organize a meeting for like minded people, volunteer with an organization that shares your beliefs, run for office even. Don't sit back and let them tell you "You cant change anything". We're all here for a brief amount of time, do what you can to make it count.
