Sorry about the thin posting lately. The blame lies entirely with Minoru Shiraishi.

Read this at Steven's blog this morning. Fortunately, as a Texan, I've a ready response to the sentiment that people outside the US ought to have a say in its government... "If you think your country should have a role in the selection of the US government and US policy, just have it apply to become a US state or states."

Seriously, it's a package deal. Want the US franchise? It comes with US citizenship, the world's best constitution, and your taxes won't be very high either. You'll even have a relatively autonomous local (i.e. state) government to take care of local affairs...

But if you want to be sovereign, and not an American, well... go ahead, but don't expect us to let you vote on anything we do. ;p
