Seeking Asylum
Julie: The government is Out to get me. I feel like I don’t have any real Freedom and everything I do is being Monitored.
Ed: Maybe you should move to another country.
Julie: I guess that’s one solution.
Ed: Yes, you should Seek asylum in another country.
Julie: Become a Refugee? I’m not sure I want to do that.
Ed: Well, if you feel like you’re being Persecuted, you should look for other options.
Julie: That seems a little Extreme.
Ed: People who are being treated unfairly because of their political opinions or Religious beliefs have the option To emigrate.
Julie: I’m not sure I’d go that far.
Ed: I Urge you to think about it. Other countries have Resettlement programs for refugees and not every country will have reached their quota yet this year. You might still find a country that will take you.
Julie: I didn’t say that I wanted To renounce my citizenship. I was just Letting off steam.
Ed: That’s the problem with you young people these days. You have no Follow-through, and no Courage of your convictions. You all need To man up!
