About
Mind on Fire is devoted to religion and skepticism, with frequent detours into science fiction, feminism, and other (mostly geeky) pet topics. It aims to be respectfully iconoclastic and thoroughly sacrilicious.
John Remy: [editor and permablogger] is an atheist-Quaker and secular humanist, cultural Shinto-Buddhist-Christian, and former Mormon; a religious studies graduate student, pseudo-journalist, and aspiring science fiction author. He started Mind on Fire in 2001 and is amazed to see that its engine is still good, even after all the miles on it.
xJane: [permablogger] found Mind on Fire through the wonders of the internet in connecting like-minded peoples. She contributes sporadically with her strong opinions and tries not to offend her readers: this is her toned down. She comes from a predominately Catholic background but is currently exploring atheistic spirituality. -

Actually, Canada has one of the most open and liberal immigration policies, especially if one has a useful skillset and/or degree.
I say let’s all immigrate (or for me simply go home) to Canada and let the craziness of America implode on itself.
But seriously, it is really not that hard to immigrate to Canada.

LOL. Were I still accustomed to Utah winter, I think I could do it. Now that I’ve spent three winters in Orange County, the thought of below zero temperatures is just about as bad as the thought of being goverened by McCain/Palin. I almost died last year when I spent a few days in the Salt Lake snow…

That seriously just made my day. My mom has been threatening to move to Canada ever since The Antichrist jr. came into power.

Mmm, pot.
Elise, if warmish winters are what you desire, then Vancouver is the place for you.
The rest of Canada, not so much. If you thought SLC was bad, you would probably literally die anywhere else in Canada in the winter. -45C is pretty darn cold.

sounds good, ey? (or is it… eh?… ai?… aw, I make a shitty canuck)

It’s “eh”, and we’re really accepting of diversity, so you’d do fine.
