Mostly to do with the legal system here: i have no property rights, the neighbor's dogs run everything, i cannot legally defend myself from them even with words to the effect of "go home!", no one will hire me, my words mean nothing because humans equate "spinal cord injury" with "brain dead". I can't even get lawn mowing companies to mow my yard, while they do mow neighbor's yards. The local library would prefer i not check out books, because they "know" i can't read them (altho one librarian claimed i had memorised all of Unauthorised Windows 95 as someone read it to me, page numbers and contents included).

The neighbor has been turning dogs loose on me for 10 years, on my property, and two judges told him not to, that he was breaking the law, but he still does it. After court last week, he climbed my fence to break off a toothpick deep in the driveway gate padlock. Tonite, he has a huge trash fire out there, even tho we are still in a fire alert, and it's illegal to burn trash anyhow, and it's also against the land covenants, and ADEM previously cited him for it twice. The smoke is so bad it occasionally causes me a trip to the emergency room, and i have no insurance (all that money was spent on lawyers). They routinely trespass, and take down a portion of my fence on my property, and the DA's office will prosecute ME if i videotape my property to get evidence against him.

Last court case, last week, the neighbor said under oath 3x that it took a 1200ft/sec bullet 3 sec to travel 75ft, she said her daughter heard and saw everything that went on that day but the daughter said she was asleep on the couch with the tv on and saw nothing, and the neighbor said the dog was loose with no fence and no leash when i shot at it on my property as it lunged at me. Yet i am the one in trouble. I was also told by the DA's office i cannot use a stick, a rock, a loud voice, a camera with a flash, or pepper spray to defend myself on my property from a dog known to come after me. Or i'd be in more trouble. And 2 judges said they will not look at video of the dogs on my property attacking me.

Life may not be better anywhere else, but i hear it is better in Canada, and the middle of the oceans. At least i'll be self-reliantly portable in a boat.
