Nope. And I'm torn, should I even try to go there.
OT1H, it seems in many ways to be a barbaric hell-hole; one of those ways being the "Taliban of the West"-level religiosity and precisely this ridiculous prudery that it leads to. OTOH, there is the 76th World Science Fiction Convention in San José next August. And OK, of course in many other ways too, it's not a barbaric hell-hole. OTGH, they'd probably just Google what I've said about Presidents past and current and not let me in, so better not waste the money for airfare in the first place.

You're such a pessimist

They'd probably* do that before even granting you the visa, not wait until you're already here to pull the rug out from under you. * Probably.** ** OK, probably not.

Well, we ARE number one in the world for persons incarcerated per capita.
Also, too, the number of adults who believe angels are real. And, to round out the categories in which the US is number one in the world, don't forget we are still number one in the world when it comes to defense spending.
So, yeah, there's lots to see here. Lots of insanity.
Edit: Before I am corrected, I know this is not an exhaustive list of things in which the US leads the world. There's our national debt, for instance.

See also (re Murican et al) 'Discontents' in News Picks.. ;^> Herbert Marcuse and cohorts.
You may be familiar with the protagonists mentioned in a (simply lovely..) exchange between two eloquent commentators. (Pretty rare ..anywhere, for that matter. Any day since Reaganomics happened and proved to be a mega-Killer for mankind.) Sic transit gloria mundi Couldn't find it in Cyrillic :-þ

Fine for work here . . .
Of course, I work from a home office - and always appreciate naked women.
