A Quiet Leaving

According to Mum, a lot of her neighbors are disturbed enough about the general social climate here that they have quietly moved out of the country. Mostly to Israel. She knows of fifteen families so far who were creeped-out enough in suburban Florida to get the heck out and go to a safer war zone.
