am not a citizen Ah! FRENCH! Did I get that right? not for the prince of course, just the minor stuff) No surprise. They had "elections" in the USSR too. Probably not. Depends on your law. In some countries you can legally be an agent of a foreign power as long as you let your gov't know that. In others it's worth your life. You don't have to be living in the perfect place to be able to criticize somewhere else Oh, we understand this. The Soviets criticized us constantly. NK and Cuba, the remaining Worker's Paradises, still do. Yeah, that makes me laugh :-) Really, the implications are quite staggering - as in, "We can't even understand how a foreigner can be so fluent in our language, since we are too dumb/undereducated/uncultivated/etc to even accept the possibility that it is possible". I don't mean this for the entire American population, obviously You had best not. Stanford. Harvard. Berkeley. Princeton. Yale. Caltech. MIT. Names known worldwide for academic excellence. Richard Feynman. Steven Weinberg. Murray Gell-Mann. Luis Alvarez. Leon M. Lederman. Sheldon Glashow. That's just physics, that's just recent, those are just the better known ones, and its only native-born Americans- -it doesn't count all the foreign born winners who were attracted to The City On The Hill. nobel.se Err, why would I want to do that? If they think I am in Ohio, let them continue thinking just that. Because it would settle the question? I don't know by "what authority". I just know they did. Care to back that up? I am willing to believe they could get permanent residency granted quickly. Citizenship? I await proof.

(2) I have been living here only a few years, am not a citizen (citizens actually vote... not for the prince of course, just the minor stuff) We're still allowed to vote, as if the vote matters anymore. People today vote for an illusion offered them on the controlled media. Nobody knows what the real interests are that any of the candidate's represent. It's really a joke. The biggest joke is that so many voters think they are so smart and well informed based only on what they see on the tube. And now electronic voting has opened the door to massive voter fraud. The voting machine program keeps 3 sets of the voting records and only one is relatively secure, the other two "backups" can be manipulated by remote computer. Then if the master record is "damaged" a backup can be used and no one knows it was tampered with because the security is not as good for the backups. "We can't even understand how a foreigner can be so fluent in our language, since we are too dumb/undereducated/uncultivated/etc to even accept the possibility that it is possible". An agent of the KGB who went to the KGB School for the America's? <g> They teach English real good. BTW what is a former KGB Director doing as a hired consultant for the newly hatched Dept of Homeland Security? Do you have any inside information about that?
