Anyone know how to teleport a town?

Apparently my resolve to avoid saying anything lasts about 24 hours. Of course, when people keep saying stupid things, it's difficult. So apparently the City of Berkeley, CA passed an ordinance asking the Marine recruiters to stay out of town. They aren't welcome to the City of Berkeley because they corrupt the young or something.

Per the linked story on CNN, some legislators have responded by threatening to cut Berkeley off from Federal funds. I approve.

Personally, I would like to uproot and teleport the entire City to somewhere in a) Sudan, B) Iraq, c) Iran, or d) China. Let's sit back and see how long it takes them to decide that maybe the Armed Forces might have a place. After all, it's very easy to criticize them when one has a nice safe town with guaranteed civil liberty protections. It would be a hard dose of reality to find out what life is like without the barbarians in the U. S. military.

Liberal cretons. Makes me realize why I began as a Republican.
