Dude, hopefully your next visit is more successful. But so far, great job. And you'd better play at another position after playing his next visit, too! Woohoo!

At least to the second question I can always answer "no", since anarchists tend to not be joiners :) "Purpose of your visit (select as many as may apply): ( ) Terrorism, ( ) Smuggling, ( ) Assassination, ( ) Coup d'etat, ( ) Other" Yeah, it’s pretty nutzoid stuff, really.

“Purpose of your visit (select as many as may apply): ( ) Terrorism, ( ) Smuggling, ( ) Assassination, ( ) Coup d’etat, ( ) Other”

Then there's this one question I'm aware of that I think is on forms for joining the US military, "Have you ever been a member of a group or organisation committed to overthrowing the government?" I understand it’s purpose, but it seems to me like the questions you get on other government issued toilet-paper,

“Are you:

carrying any illegal substances”

Which I’ve encountered on customs and immigration forms and where I still find it hard to believe a drug smuggler is going to tick “Yes” that they’re carrying an illegal substance.

Then there’s this one question I’m aware of that I think is on forms for joining the US military,

“Have you ever been a member of a group or organisation committed to overthrowing the government?”

Far as I can tell, I won't be filling in that section at all, as it doesn't apply to me. I might have to fill in section II, but that depends on whether or not I answer "yes" to question 6(e). It's not clear if I should be a "yes" alongside my contemporaneous oath of renunciation or if I should be a "no", adopting the position that when I fill in the form it hasn't happened yet. We'll just leave that one blank for now, and see what the official dude tells me.

How did you find out you were a citizen of the United States?" Not the smartest sounding bunch of bureaucrats. “When did you first become aware that you were a United States citizen?

How did you find out you were a citizen of the United States?”

Not the smartest sounding bunch of bureaucrats.
