I've been thinking about how people are talking about leaving. I've even expressed that I could have a good midwifery career in New Zealand. But really, for me it' just talk. It's venting.
Listen up, and listen up good. I ain't going nowhere. You know why? Because I was not raised to cut and run. I was raised to stand up for what is right. Leaving is not standing up. It's cowardly.
Despite the disapointment. And the feeling that many people in this country are not paying attention. I'm not giving up on them. I'm not giving up on myself. I have faith in humanity.
It may take a serious erosion of their rights before they actually notice. They will probably continue to buy the pablum they are fed by the press. But when they are ready, I'm going to be a part of the infrastructure that is already in place and working for change. I will happily scoot over and make room in the halls of reform.
I would rather end up a political prisoner or knee deep in blood than leave the country of my heart.
DON'T TREAD ON ME.
