    And they are subject to the mental poison endemic to that region. It takes a long time and a lot of effort to purge that evil. I can speak from personal experience. It never goes away and it is a constant struggle to shout down that early indoctrination.

      Yeah. I made my comment from personal experience as well. I was lucky and had a friend who got out and helped me by giving me a place to crash so I could as well. I’m fully in support of a fund to help state border jumpers that someone else mentioned in the comments here (even though I’m too poor to contribute) and have tried to pay the karma back by giving others a place to crash like I got.
