DAMN! Doesn't being funded by u.s.guvment for decades and dealing
with German bureaucracy as a foreigner for five years count for
anything ? I can show you my certificates of good citizenship/brainwashing!
(Hallelujah!) What if I throw in bureaucratic messiness with _more_
countries? I can show you work visas and living visas and work permits
and dozens of stamps and authorizations in pretty colors!
Surely that puts me in the front line status ?
