I'm not prone to hysteria, especially for something that may or may not happen, and it certainly won't happen overnight in any case. The other side of that coin is I don't consider Arizona "my" state. It's a state - I live here. I've lived in many states. This probably won't be the last state I live in. Yes, while I'm here I am concerned about what goes on here, but do I feel panicked? No, not at all. California is bankrupt but still operates as a state. I have family there. Other than the housing market being in the crapper, like it is all over the U.S., their lives aren't much worse than anyone else's in this country. So no, I don't have an escape route planned. Until there is a reason for me to leave, I'm here.

As I've stated all along, my concern is not for myself - it's for people who don't have the means to go somewhere else and make a better life for themselves. They are going to be hurt most of all by a boycott, not the highly paid assholes who thought up this crap in the first place.
