I make this formal, public, and, I hope, legally valid renunciation,

....that doesn't mean a thing. If he wants to renounce his citizenship he needs to do it legally and officially by way of the state department. I suspect he knows that already but hopes the reader doesn't.

That was the point. The bad old State Department was making him do that so he thought he'd write off the cost of the paperwork, and probably that unrestricted ticket to Mexico or wherever, by writing a column about it. In fact, now that I think about it, I'm sorry I wasted 5 minutes of my life over this. I expected an OPUS, for Pete's sake, not a complaint about bureaucracy.

And he'll sure want that green one back after Eurabia sinks under the muslim horde.

hehe....while state is ok with this....the IRS is not so forgiving....I think they wait a minimum of 10 years before they take you off their books when you leave the country. In some instances never.

If he's gotten it published this publicly, and widely, I suspect he'll find it quite valid. He may well find his name on another list, shortly, too.
