OFF TOPIC - The IOC sucks.

The INS (as I mentioned before: The worst bureaucracy in the western world) is designed to keep people out of the US...

I spent nearly a year of time just trying to get the proper documents to work legally while I was staying with my fiance in the US...it never happened. I went through so much crap and every INS officer seemed to give me a different answer to my questions. One day I traveled to the INS office in Seattle and was suprised to find it heavily guarded (don't bother bringing your nail file or any other shrap object) as if it was a military base. They offer no help and treat you like trash. It was a horrible experience.

Fortunately, my wife and I decided to move to my home in Toronto and within two months of submitting her papers - boom - she had a job and free health care.

I enjoyed living in the US (especially the Northwest) - but I really hated the way the government was set up. They never get anything done, ever. And, it's too easy for special interest Groups to influence the government (NRA, Christian Right etc)...
