Ha-ha....
and imagine my children and grand-children will laugh at me when I tell them I was pulled out for security check at the airport 40 year ago and they will probably laugh harder when I tell them I was apart from my wife for 4 years(hopefully not more) waiting for her to come here.

Care to elaborate?
I guess thrix was just joking, as his signature shows an entry for voter registration
Actually he had mentioned in an earlier posting that his signature is for him mom, so I'm not sure if he's joking.

My sig is for my mom. I don't want to vote and I don't want my info to be somewhere, where I don't need.
My mom registered, because they gave forms at the oath, so she filled out

You sound pretty adamant about not wanting to vote. Do you like other people deciding what you can and can't do on your behalf? I know one vote doesn't count for a whole lot, but surely what little it does is better than simply throwing it away?

I wonder if thrix is from a country where registered voters are threatened and intimidated by thugs either to make them vote a certain way or stay away from the polls. Register to vote, and a thug supporting one politician or another shows up at your door with guns.
Thrix, things don't work like that in the USA. In this country you are free to vote for who you want without that kind of intimidation. Embrace your democratic freedom.

It make me feel that you think your vote will be counted?
I don't want to deal with government after my citizenship.
If I had my own voteing machine then I could trust it.

Sure your vote will be counted! As long as you don't vote in Florida, that is!
Voting was compulsory in Australia and I even voted for a few years after arriving to the US. However, I have noticed that increasingly young people do not register themselves in Australia, just because they don't want their private information becoming public information from just being on voter rolls. Additionally one is fined only if one is on the voter roll and does not vote. I think Trix is indicating a similar thought of not wanting his information being made public.
In the US, one's vote is even more valuable than in countries where voting is compulsory. Noisy minorities on either side of politics hijack the agenda by making sure they vote. The middle and independents and those who are apathetic do not vote. I can't wait to take part in the caucus vote! Only problem is I don't know which party I should participate in

Voting is not mandatory in the US, but unfortunately the information being made public is an issue, as I think most states treat the voter registration lists as public records.
Whoseever brother happens to be the governor at the time!
I just don't want my personal information to be on file somewhere. Identity theft is still growing. In my country voting is not mandatory and I don't vote, because I don't have time. Each GOVERNEMENT wants us to pay for his time (N400, etc). They don't pay me for voting, so no voting.
