If I haven't surrendered my citizenship, I still have the right to vote, at
least in this country. Unless, of course, one is in the military, but that's
a topic for CPF0000.

You won't attend the conference, won't pay the conference fees, yet you
still want the benefits of the conference? There are so many other member
benefits you get from your membership, and you want to add conference
handouts? Hmmm..

Sure, paying your dues is great, but not being involved and still wanting
to vote is nice, but isn't that like living in another country and wanting
to vote in the place you left?? Just asking...

Then again, there were lots of things which seemed silly to me. I guess
that's why I no longer attend the conferences. I only pay the dues to
reserve my ability to vote.
