Reply #175: for us non-USAns

Congratulations on the plan, of course. And this note is meant for future consideration, once the plan itself is finalized and operational.

There's a good number of furriners here, and we might sometimes be useful. But it would be my position that there are also things we oughta keep our faces out of.

(That's why there are polls at DU in which I don't "vote", f'r instance, just on principle. Some things aren't my business, and some polls I shouldn't try to influence the numbers in.)

Maybe, down the line, you could consider two classes of membership in the corps. You citizens and residents of the US would be first class members, and we others would be something like associate activists. If an action was appropriate for us to be involved in -- like, say, something having to do with US foreign policy -- then we'd be notified and invited and recognized for contributing.

Basically, there are things USAmerican in which the rest of the world should have voice, even though we don't get vote -- while when it comes to how you people organize your social security system and the like, we should take a friendly interest and of course offer all the advice we like, but not butt in. ;)
