Don't worry Spiff, I'm entering my 8th year of boycott and still going strong.

Actually, I thought I was going to break around this time last year (you know, a new president and all), but your government does everything to convince me that Im doing the right thing.

Btw,
now that the DHS goons ask me about what I do for a living when showing up at the border I don't feel like going to the US for a while. I can travel intra-European and to many other places as many times as I like without being questioned.

How difficult can it be to understand that most Europeans don't have any need at all to show up at the nearest Home Depot to look for work...
The visa waiver program is not a form of visa. You have not applied for a Visa electronically. The only thing ESTA does is allow the airline to board you. You still have to fill out the I-94W, which is the visa waiver form. If you have an ESTA approval you still can be refused entry by the CBP Officer. There is a big difference between being admitted to the United States on a Visa and being admitted via the visa waiver program. The biggest is that you have signed away many of your rights to a immigration court hearing if you have problems while in the US or entering the US.

If you put it this way, it sounds even worse...
