Once you come a citizen, if you choose to, you can vote for whomever you like into office. If that person get enough votes, you get the person you want. Isn't that how it suppose to work?

>>Concerning your wife. Does living here entitle you to a job?

>The other way around. Having a job entitles me to live here.

Oh, really? I never heard of that entitlement. So, anyone can live here legally as long as they "work" here.

>Ever heard of H-4 visa?

No. Are you allowed to get work with this? If so and she's not getting a fair consideration by employers, it looks like a good case for a law suite.

Maybe they think you're using reverse physcology.... :)

>>>...And there's a curfew here in Virginia Beach for anyone below 18 after 11pm, according to the bulletin of city's public schools.

>>The curfew is for EVERYONE under 18. I like that. :)

>In my language there's no word for curfew. There's only an expression "police hour". The last police which enforced it there was German, occupational. Maybe it ticks me off because of such connotations.

Again, this sounds like "paranoia". :)
We are talkin about minors here. Parents set curfews for their childern all the time.

>Still, makes me wonder - the teenagers (16 and up) are trusted to drive two-ton SUVs, with 200+ HP under their command, but aren't trusted to be out on the street between 11pm and 5am? When I was that age, I regularly went home around midnight. My girlfriend lived on the other side of town (3 miles) so I walked quite often... the dance would be over by ten or eleven, so it's 1.5 miles to her, and 3 miles home. Never had a problem, even when police (yes, the communist police) stopped me and asked for an ID. And even when I didn't have one - as long as I blurted my address without hesitation.

You were not causing problems. But because of few thugs and "bad apples" a whole group of people must "suffer". Otherwise, the gov't may face critisims like "racist".

What would you like to change? Here you have more freedom then any other country in the world. To have drastic CHANGE, I guess you would have to amend the constition in a major way.
