i was going to move to Italy at one point but the political climate there isn't much better than here.

I am proud of my heritage as was my grandfather which was why he never renounced his Italian citizenship. (OK, that and he was denied US citizenship for being a bootlegger.)

But, I like having options... I like knowing that with that other passport I can travel and stay longer in other parts of the world where US citizenship doesn't get you much in terms of a visa... i.e. Japan, Australia, and most EU countries.
