RE: ....are you a bureaucrat or do you play one on FR?
I am an INDIVIDUAL THINKER, that’s all.
You can MORALLY say that I don’t want to be American any longer (and there might be some Americans who say that), but LEGALLY, that does not change your citizenship (yet).
So, this piece of news simply tells us his HATRED for his country. It does not change the fact that he is still American LEGALLY whether he wants it or not.
The paperwork is so irrelevant it is ridiculous to even mention.
Your mention of this is no different than pointing out that a drunk driver who has killed five people should have been wearing his seat belt because it is against the law not to do so.
Who but you cares?
