    I'm leaving ASAP.

Consider that it's not the country that let it happen, but the people. One thing I have found to be true time and again, is that people are the same all over. Their environment is what makes them ugly or not. When things are stable and easy, everyone seems swell. I'm not saying that there aren't better places to live. There probably are. Just don't make the mistake of thinking that it is due to the quality of the people. Take any place you want to move to, and look at its history.

I'd argue that you aren't looking for a better place or better people, but both at a better time.
